Be Careful! Alpha == Unstable Software!
- This is NOT FOR: use, public review, personal or production evaluation.
- This is FOR: developers and packagers testing.

Whatever you may do with the provided ISO disc image - will be done at your own risk, with your own responsibility. - If you are looking for a stable Linux system, you may prefer to wait - for later releases of Mageia.

You still want to download Mageia Alpha 2?

-

Ok. So first, presentations: we have three (3) ISO images: a 32bit DVD, a 64bit DVD - (about 4 GB) and a dual arch CD (about 700 MB).

-

Below you will find the list of servers that currently mirror Mageia software:

-
    -
  1. pick the server that suits you best (preferably in your own country);
  2. -
  3. pick the ISO image that is best for you (their names should be self-evident, we hope).

You can help!

-

Yes! This release is still rough, and so will be the next one, - but even better!

-

There is a lot of things one can contribute - to in Mageia: developing, packaging, testing, translating, - reporting and fixing bugs, and so much more!

-

See - how you can join the fun and contribute!

-

Donate!

-

Yes! You can donate too!

-

Mageia only relies on its own community involvement, - be it time, skills, money!

Yes, this is a rather rough download page, for now. But it is good in that it - could make this alpha download less attractive to non-developers. - Did we say that we welcome people to contribute in our - Web and Sysadmin teams? - There are other very friendly teams in the project as well.
