</I>Yes indeed. I should have thought of that, as I have always used a
separate /home partition.
So that makes the idea workable, without any security risks associated
with a remote server.
For the first release, at least, Mageia will be generally following
Mandriva defaults.
And upgrades will be possible from Mandriva to Mageia.

</I>Exactly. Also much faster.
But there are times where a clean install is advisable.

</I>Neither do I. Security and privacy risks.
