[Mageia-discuss] [Poll] What are your top requirements?

I have been using Mandrake/Mandriva/Mageia since 2002. I am a senior 
+citizen with no technical background and strictly a gui user. Mandrake 
+was an excellent alternative to Windows. It was easy to install and use. 
+Most importantly there was a community available that provided excellent 
+support no matter how dumb my question. This community both local and 
+thru mageia is still providing excellent support. Another item of equal 
+importance is that no matter how many mistakes, crashes etc I still have 
+a /home partition with my data intact about 99% of the time. I also back 
+it up. I installed mageia on my wife's computer and she has no problem. 
+The major everyday programs are excellent.
+
+In summary, for a new user the ease of installation is most important 
+including the hardware support. Program stability and community support 
+is next in importance.
