Time is passing by just as in a magical manner, as all those beautiful memories are presented this great way.
Thanks macxi, for me the Mageia2-set has special meanings. Mageia 5 is just awesome, my number two this far.

Mageia 5 is amazing but I also like Mageia 4.

My favourite? The fourth!

Hello,
The first Alpha version of Mageia was codenamed " Cantine " (see in the Mageia Blog).
Then, it was no longer given codename for the release of Mageia. I don't advocate that has code name. I just thought what would be the most interesting codename for each of the Mageia releases from Mageia 1 to 5:

Mageia 1 would have the codename " Plastic Bubble ", which is that plastic used to protect objects, so the idea that Mageia had a cautious beginning in 2011.

Mageia 2 would have the alias " Imagination ", representing the creativity to be building a distro with a great community in 2012.

Mageia 3 would have the alias "Happiness", commemorating the consolidation of distro in 2013, celebrating the success of the third release.

Mageia 4 would codenamed " Hanami ", a flower festival in Japan (see Hanami at wikipedia or on the site hanami - japan wonderland), representing a collective celebration of maturation of the distro and Mageia community.

Mageia 5 would codenamed " Cosmos ", representing a seeking to broaden the horizons.

Of course, this is just my imagination. Only the codename "Cantine" is official. All other codnomes I created, just to remind the official wallpapers of each release of Mageia.


Note: The same topic in Fórum Mageia do Brasil.

The official codename for Mageia 1 - 4 was "thornicroft" which is defined in /etc/lsb-release

There have even been bugreports on this in between:
