My recent experiences with enterprise distros has been less than
happy and I'm seriously wondering whether I could use Mageia on
the server as well as on workstations.
My main need is for mail serving, for which I use
fetchmail/procmail/dovecot - are there any known problems around
these apps?
The disadvantage of changing is the need for frequent upgrades,
but at least 9 months is better than 6 months :-)
The release frequency is ~9 months, but it's supported 18 monts, so
you dont have to upgrade for every release...
You're right - the temptation to update every time isn't as great on a
server, so I can live with that :-)
The advantages of changing are the familiarity of working with a
single distro and the helpfulness of the Mageia lists and
channels.
Has anyone any relevant experience?
I'm running several LAMP servers and some samba servers and have no
problem...
Most of Mageia infra is also running mga1 and some soon some on
mga2
Thanks. I really can't see any reason why it wouldn't cope. I think
it's time for a new HDD and a clean install.

I have successfully deployed Mageia servers for Plesk, and Ulteo as well
as a mail server etc.
