Anne Nicolas has announced the availability of the second beta release of Mageia 3: "
We
are reaching the final run for Mageia 3 release - the beta 2 ISO images
are available for tests. We will need your feedback on the Broadcom
wireless chipset. We intentionally removed all proprietary drivers for
it. So it comes configured using only the free one. This is a test to
check support by the free drivers. If in some way we get too many
failures, we will revert it to the hardware that still needs the
proprietary driver. This release also comes with the brand-new vesion of
LibreOffice, the 4.0.0 RC2 version." Read the brief
release announcement and the more detailed
release notes for more information and a list of known issues.
