Then I was wandering... Why not make mageia more "mac friendly"?
I think that it will be a good thing for mageia (nowadays almost
everyone has some apple device at home (iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac...))
Comments?

listen, i don't have any apple stuff either, but i think alot of
these replies
are still a bit disrespectful, ok, maybe the OP shouldn't assume
this, but
that particular comment isn't really the gist of what he's saying...
I don't think in terms of respectful or not.
What i fear is that this position is isolationist.
What good to us is to ignore the reality?
Just take a look at the sales numbers.
Apple users (any device) are much greater (in numbers) than the sum
of the
users of ALL linux distributions.
Actually we could say that Linux users (any device) are much greater
(in numbers) than the sum of the users of ALL apple devices. The most
used phone operating system is by far Android, not iOS.
I forgot abot that... ;-)
But we don't care about sales numbers, supposed number of users, etc
...
Mageia is a community distribution, so support for interoperability
with
other OSs/devices only depends whether someone is willing to spend some
time working on it. Statements about everybody having apple devices
or sales number are useless and only encourage trolling ...
Not my intention. English is not my native language and I'm not so
fluent to express my point of view in an adequate manner. So, sometimes,
some shortcuts lead to unwanted results. Sorry.
Personally I've never been able to afford Apple hardware, it is very
shiny and tempting though :D
It always falls to Linux to be the interfacing OS, Microsoft makes no
effort to interface with Linux and neither does Apple. It always falls
to Linux to make the effort to interface with the proprietary, so it
makes good sense for us to do all we can to improve our support of
Apple devices.
It would be good to be the 'go-to' distribution perhaps for Apple
owners. Lion Friendly has a nice ring to it!

Just a report.
I've uninstalled the netatalk compiled by me and installed Schlomi
newborn package. Just configured it and... It's working just fine!
Thanks a lot to Schlomi Fish!!!
