    Mageia veterans should know this by now, but as an FYI for newbies, keep
    in mind that this is an alpha release, which means that bugs are expected.

    Looking for those bugs, in fact, is the very reason for an alpha release
    like this. It has been tested as much as possible with the hardware
    available to the all-volunteer Developer and QA teams, so it is being
    sent out to the larger public pool of users and hardware to look for
    bugs that might not have shown up yet.

    PLEASE do not replace a working production install with an install from
    this release, unless you are willing to accept the consequences of one
    of those as yet unknown bugs.

    And as with any new install, MAKE SURE ALL DATA IS BACKED UP!
