Here is the first stabilisation snapshot of Mageia 6 (released on Jul. 1th). This is beta 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.
