Here is the first development snapshot of Mageia 6 (released on Mar. 27th). This is alpha software. This means, it is NOT:

  • for daily use,
  • for any kind of productive use,
  • for writing any kinds of reviews.

It is a testing release for finding bugs, to look out for important missing packages, a platform for further development leading to the beta stage and finally our first official release. More info about Mageia 6 Development.
