</I>Exactly, Fernando, you can install the distro release every 12, 18 or
24 months if you wish.
Just ensure to make security and other bug fixes on a regular basis, and
any backports and other updates you would like, in the interim.
Stable distro releases every 6 months will make Mageia more stable than
a rolling distro, with less effort.
