</I>>>><i> So, what's the difference Mageia had toward other distribution?

</I>>><i> "Simple to use yet powerful" :
</I>>><i> - newbie-friendly (yes ubuntu is on this market, but to me Mandriva
</I>>><i> does it better)
</I>>><i> - powerful
</I>>><i> - comprehensive (many packages available in many fields)
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Then nothing prevents from saying also, for example :
</I>>><i> "Mageia, ideal for music making", with news, screenshots, people

</I>>><i> You said nothing about my concern that Mandriva may be seen only as,
</I>>><i> say, a distribution for education. What about that ?

</I>Don't agree. A special version will create the impression that it is
all that Mageia can do.
On the other hand, the possibility to select a special group of software
(like "young family" or "education") to be installed from the DVD would
be very useful.

</I>><i> purpose but actually same thing strategy, but it does makes people knows
</I>><i> what to choose to fit their need, which is important to makes people
</I>><i> accept your product.
</I>><i> We do have to find a place in the market slice, or no one would care

</I>><i> unfamiliar
</I>><i> to our distro:
</I>><i> It's too vague and not attractive since no one knows your strength.
</I>><i> ____
</I>Strength, you ask ?
Ease of use -- without sacrificing power and security.
In my mind, Mandriva is even easier to use and maintain than Microsoft's
version of windows, especially if you don't use their office suite.
And certainly it is easier to use and maintain than most distros.
That doesn't preclude talking about the various uses readily available,
especially if there are special installation groups available on the DVD.
