Mageia 4 RC 發布，Mandriva Linux開源分支

Mageia是Mandriva Linux于2010年9月形成的分支，它由那份來自法國的頗受歡迎的Linux發行的前雇員及貢獻者們創建。與Mandriva這份商業實體所不同的是，Mageia計劃乃是一個社區項目及一個非盈利性組織，它的目標是開發一套自由的基于Linux的操作系統。

Anne Nicolas has announced the availability of the only release candidate for the upcoming Mageia 4:
" Finally Mageia 4 RC release is out! After many nights working on the remaining nasty bugs, the CD and DVD images are now available on your favourite public mirrors. Thumbs up to the QA team for the patience and determination for a really long journey until this RC release. This was nearly the last run for the final release. This release candidate includes lots of bug fixes on packages, hardware support, installers (both the classical and the live one). Please take some time to test it as it’s the very last chance to fix release critical bugs."
