It took rather some time looking around the Mageia web site to figure out what it is. Finally I spotted a reference to Mandriva. Some of us old-timers still remember Mandriva/Mandrake. I wonder how long it would have taken to figure it out otherwise. There's no hint that it's Linux, no hint that it's a distro, hardly any hint that it somehow involves software. Chevron's and Prado's PR departments should take note.

Mageia 2 beta 1 available Posted Feb 23, 2012 23:46 UTC (Thu) by sfeam (subscriber, #2841) [Link] Strange that you found it so hard to decipher. The banner across the top of http://mageia.org says "mageia | A New Linux Distribution". The introductory sentence immediately below that states "Mageia is a fork of Mandriva Linux, supported by a not-for-profit organisation of recognized and elected contributors." Are you sure you were looking at the correct site?
