Mageia3 beta2 is looking good

Postby DarkFoss » Jan 28th, '13, 04:28

I downloaded it yesterday (x86-64 dvd) and installed via Virtualbox 4.2.6r82870 Win 7 x64 ( yeah I know).
Everything went very smooth and seems to be working well. Noticed after updating that kernel-desktop-latest was installed but kernel-devel-desktop-latest was not. During the install process it installed both the desktop kernel and the server kernel.
Kernel-server-devel-latest was not installed by default either. Good thing the virtual-box graphics driver was forgiving enough to give me a limited graphical window instead of a black screen :lol:

Sound works out of the box something I couldn't get working under Mageia 2 vb.

Currently running the latest FAH Client 7.2.9 smp 4, the fahviewer & fahcontrol work too but had to use and unclean method to install..I'll create a new thread for that..I'm hoping that with some help to get a clean install rather than a "forced" one.
It make for a nice guide too. SMP folding is soo much faster than in Win 7 as well as Fedora 16 with the v6 client. Possibly the server kernels helping a bit but Major Props to the kernel devs for such fine tuning! :D

The torrent's still seeding quite strong at any given time I'm seeing 3-7 peers..coming up on 10GB uploaded :) Nice to see Comcast is no longer blocking the upload ports!
