Back to Mageia 2

I'm using Mageia 2 again on my primary personal laptop after using Centos 5.8 for more than a month.

The decision was somewhat accidental. I came across this post and I wanted to try it out because I am using a laptop with a 1024x768 resolution. So I installed Debian Wheezy to try that out. Long story short, I was too lazy to configure Xmonad so I decided to just install an out-of-the-box distro.

I was choosing between Mageia and openSUSE. But since I like Mageia (and I have it working on a virtual machine on my work laptop), I decided to go with it. What I have installed now is a vanilla installation of the Mageia KDE and so far, it's working nicely.

It's really awesome that Mageia got my D-Link DWA-125 USB wireless dongle working out of the box which is impressive and helpful since I don't need to install/compile the driver myself.
