JIIIHAAAA!!My name is Morgan Leijström, and i live in south end of Sweden.
This is my first post here despite i registered quite some while ago and have patricipated in the mailing list and donated.
Because i was patienty waiting for my new machine to install on.
(And my mandriva machines was just working, but becoming of age so...)
This ouperforms my 6 year old workstation by more then ten times in speed it feels like, have a very nice screen etc.
I told my boss (that is myself
) that i should be much more productive on it
--and wow what speed! To much workshop work this week to really get it into work, but it is installed (except the water cooler is hanging out on the side...)
Actually i tried to install mdv2011 first but it dropped me early at command line as it failed to get graphics working.
Well i did not waste time on it, and installed mageia as i intended it to be main system anyway.
Installation went pretty smooth from USB+FTP repo, except it hang black at testing graphics driver.
Restarted installation and it got to the same point and i selected vesa instead, made full upgrade, and after next reboot i could switch to real driver.
I have a Readeon HD 6850 and a beautiful 2560x1600 screen
Small details to fix: audio, temperature monitors...
