Could you explain what you mean exactly ?

( cause I think that for the moment, we are not really different than others linux based system, and more specifically, we are a little bit behind from systems who offer newer gcc, newer python, etc or more packages ( fedora, debian, etc ) ). > - Specs & requirements page: > > what are the hardware specs and system requirements for a new user > installing (or upgrading) to Mageia 1? Usually, any computer that was sold since 7/8 years should be enough, depending on what you want. We can tell roughly how much space it would take on a disk, we could tell how much memory will be used by a default installation, but since that can be tweaked to be lower, we should try to reflect that. I think we do have a limit of requiring 512 or 256 mo for installer, and that a regular installation would be 3 g ? ( it can be tweaked down to something like 200 mo of disk space, iirc ). We are targeting for the moment regular desktop and laptop running x86 compatible processor, 32 and 64 bits ( intel, amd, via, etc ). > - Thanks page: > > please nominate people on your team who should be mentioned on this > page! I usually find it to be quite risky. Not that I do not want to thanks people for their work, but that's either a huge job ( ie, for each people write something customized, with complexity increasing with each release ), or a script ( ie, take svn log + some script ) that would remove the human nature of the thanks. Maybe I am just "special" when it come to some form of rewards, so could maybe other packagers give their opinion ( ie, would a script be enough ? ) -- Michael Scherer
