I upgraded my laptop (HP Elitebook 8540w) from 2010.2 to Mageia 1 last
year.

Quite a few packages went away -- Mageia has many fewer packages than
Mandriva -- but I didn't find any other problems, and some things were
actually fixed or improved.

I haven't tried mga2 or cauldron yet as I can't afford downtime if there
are problems.
