I also find the alpha quite nice, sure a few bugs are in there which will be fixed soon i think.
At the moment i'm installing it on my external hard drive to test it with all my hardware available to make sure everything works.
Hy, i like it, no problems so far...i installed the lxde version on an intel atom 330i don't know how much of the work was done by our own mageia team, but i'm sure it's allot and they have done a very good jobi'm more of a quality type of guy so steady work will do just fine for meCheers!!!!
