Mageia 5 images now available for Vmware and VirtualBox
Rémi Verschelde has announced the latest version of Mageia. Mageia is a community distribution which started as a fork of the Mandriva project, but which now operates as an independent distribution. “After more than one year of development, the Mageia community is very proud to finally deliver this long-awaited release, Mageia 5. This release announcement is a big sigh of relief, an `At last!’ that comes straight from the heart of the weary – tired as one can be after long days of hard but rewarding work. And still, we chose to take our time to fix major issues and have a high quality release, without rushing it. Maybe our best release so far, taking into account the impressive work that was done on the installer, both to add new features and to get rid of old bugs. Low-level: Kernel 3.19.8, X.org 1.16.4; Toolkits: Qt 5.4.0, GTK+ 3.14.8; Desktop environments: KDE 4.14.3, GNOME 3.14, Cinnamon 2.4.5, MATE 1.8.0, XFCE 4.12, LXQt 0.9.0, Plasma 5.1.2; Applications: LibreOffice 4.4.2.2, Firefox ESR 31.7.0 (will soon be updated to Firefox ESR 38.x)” You can checkout release announcement here.
