Starting with the complimentary thank you to the entire team.
Now that woes that I have had. First I will say it is
not the fault of the Mageia developers/packagers, but the problem has arisen that many of the packages that I have used for a long time have been updated sooooo much that my system wouldn't work with them. I
ALWAYS back up my system before installing a new release. I have never tried upgrading one so I wouldn't know if it's wise or not. When installing a new release I usually format my /home to clear out the gunge that accumulates.
This time my efforts did not work. Apache for one have changed the config file sections quite drastically, of course until I found this out I could not understand why my trusty website didn't work.
That's only one instance and there are quite a few more.
What I am trying to say is if something is broken when you install/update then check very carefully your config files etc. Even the desktop has changed dramatically, for the better I must say.
Well done guys and gals.
