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.

+ +

Again, please DO NOT + download it and/or install it if you are not certain + that you understand what this ISO is and what it is not.

+ +

So, you still want to download Mageia Factory Alpha 1?

+

Ok. So first, presentations: we have three ISO images: a 32bit DVD, a 64bit DVD and a dualarch DVD. + Each weights about 3 GiB.

+

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. +
  2. pick the ISO image that is best for you (their names should be self-evident, we hope).
    3. +

About this release

+

This is our first ISO, released from our build-system. + Releasing it now is a good way to test it and see what + is left to be improved for the next weeks.

+ + +

Alpha 2 will be released on March, 15th.

+

You can check our roadmap for Mageia 1.

+ + +
+
+

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.
