   Well, since Mageia at present is just Mandriva repackaged, the switch   
   will not be anything like Mandriva->Ubuntu or Slackware.   
   The main difference right now is that the "connected"icon in wireless   
   mode is a globe rather than a tv screen (still blue) and the desktop   
   says mageia not Mandriva.   
   It will almost certainly diverge after a while.
