+ <h3>Web, tools, systems design &amp; administration</h3>
+ <p>Mageia exists through an infrastructure and tools that enable everyone

+ manage servers, connections, security, applications, user flow, etc.
+ It takes <a href="/wiki/doku.php?id=sysadmin">system administrators</a>

+ <li id="mirror">
+ <h3>Mirroring</h3>
+ <p>Making all Mageia software available requires <a href="http://mirrors.mageia.org/">several mirrors
