Easy and fast way for installing new programs

It is very easy to install any software in this distro (it uses AUR). I use it as an office server with virtual machines running different OSes like Windows Server 2008 R2 or Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon desktop etc., so that my clients can access their files easily from anywhere via remote connections using SSH terminal services installed within those VMs. And also have used it recently when needed some packages were not available through official repositories of Ubuntu which are supported by…

Pros
  • Best thing about magaieas its ease for installation new applications, even if you don't know much linux stuffs just try few simple commands once then your troubleshooting goes fastly! No need more knowledge than "apt get" command :D.And all package versions up date every month automatically too :) So no worries at least there will be newer
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok

Magaera - Stable AND full featured: Mageia

It's very stable and it has all of my favorite software preinstalled (including firefox). I really like that there are so many different flavors to choose from with this distro. The only thing I don't really like is that you cannot upgrade an existing install without going through multiple versions. If you want stability then go with mageia but if you need something new or have specific needs in mind, try out other distributions such as ubuntu studio. I'm using it primarily because i use linux…

Pros
  • Stable
  • Easily customizable desktop environment/theme
  • Ability for easy installation via PXE booting / network media server.
  • Great support community ask questions here! :)
Cons
  • Minor Issues

Best distribution for servers & Desktop systems

The best part of installing this Linux distro is that it has all essential softwares preinstalled with latest version which makes my life easier to manage in office work. At first look I thought may not be much different than debian but after using it few days, It's more stable then any other linux OS out there. Nothing as such so far. Its easy installtion process compared to most others available today. And its very good choice if you are looking forward to use your desktop computer or laptop

Pros
  • It includes almost all tools we need to use
Cons
  • Nothing to say, so far i can think of any disadvantage in the current environment but if you are a server administrator i think it would be a bit problematic
