Mageia 2 Part 2

Well, from the live version, it seems to be pretty good... I think it's what openSUSE 12.x was supposed to be... before something went horribly wrong.

I couldn't get dual-monitors to work... but perhaps installing it might work... I'll have to hope for the best.

I got my window theme to work, so that's also another good thing. The background also isn't broken as well (:D)

I can't install things from the live CD, since the install/remove software is limited to what's on the CD itself... So I'm not exactly sure what packages are there, though I'm sure there will be support for what I want.

My CPU fan isn't going nuts for no reason (:D)

Everything feels snappy for a Live CD, which is something I'm not used to. Ah, okay, I just checked the system monitor, and there's about 630MB of ram used... so I'm guessing it dumped the Live CD to the RAM. Though it did this, I'm still expecting it to be relatively quick when installed.

Hmm... there's NTP support, though I'm probably going to have to configure it via command line :/

According to DistroWatch, it uses GRUB 1, but I might do a test install on a separate disk to see if it detects other OS's... (:/) Screw it, I'll stay with LM and GRUB2. (LOL)

There seems to be a file-sharing type thing (partition sharer I think it was called), so maybe it's like an FTP? If so, and it works well, then it will make sharing files easy again (instead of awkwardly doing it with Filezilla.

Terminal feels the same in terms of su. Sudo doesn't exist apparently, but at least it's not clunky like Fedora where I use su, then use sudo. (-_-;;)

I'm liking it so far, just gotta install and test it out (just gotta remember to backup the themes and Rhythmbox preferences beforehand XD).
