After all the delays in our Mageia 3 planning, we’re very pleased to be able to announce the beta 4 release.
Packagers and the QA team have worked hard to fix as many bugs as possible. We are now one month from Mageia 3 final release, so your tests – and reports! – are more important than ever.
This beta release comes with nearly all the designs for Mageia 3 integrated – many thanks to Leo who made the background image for Mageia 2 and then worked again on the Mageia 3 design. Our thanks to him for his patience and for his contribution!
For more information about this release:
- Mageia 3 beta 4 release notes and errata
- Development roadmap
- Mageia 3 features
- Download
Initially we’re releasing the i586 and x86_64 DVDs and dual CD using the classical installer; work is still in progress on the live ISOs. We’ll announce them as soon as they’re ready.
Enjoy – and don’t forget the feedback and reports!
The download link still points to the Beta 3 release. (Please delete this comment after correcting the link.)

Мне нравится эта бета, посмотрим каким получится релиз
What about torrents?
Torrents for a beta release are a bad idea….I think.
They tend to hang around for a long time after the official release is out.
Then people still download the beta and start complaining about bugs which have been fixed already.
Extra work and bad for reputation
they seem to mess up the torrents each time they release an alpha or beta.
be patient, they should fix it in the next few days.
what about you just be happy with that you get?
You can download iso from terminal with wget,wget ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/mirrors/Mageia/iso/cauldron/Mageia-3-beta4-x86_64-DVD/Mageia-3-beta4-x86_64-DVD.iso,or livecd or livedvd.

I tried Mageia2 (as upgrade to Mageia1). Almost bricked my computer. sytemd option as default together with other distro options makes transition impossible. No real systemV support. moving /bin in /usr/sbin is another one: how do you mount usr if mount is now in /usr/bin?
Go ahead, and wonder why M$ still have clients.
There is no way that I would try Mageia3. I’ll stick with traditional UNIX systems — too much hassle to fix bugs generated by premature decisions.
Any chance for Gnome 3.8 in the final release ?
Would be very nice if it was possible to back the system to a date when it was working well.
an old windows function
Did fresh install to single drive. Loving it! It just keeps getting better.
Keep up the good work…

No real need to wait for the final release. The BETA 4 version works perfectly. I’ve just upgraded from BETA 3. Now I’m running kernel 3.8.5 and KDE 4.10.2. No issues at all. I guess it will be just as easy to upgrade to the FINAL release.

Just did an uneventful upgrade of an old Pentium-M laptop from Mageia 2 using the 586 DVD.

Other than a couple bogus error msgs about “please insert media …” when rebooting, and a bogus error starting the WLAN (it was already online) on first boot, worked very nicely, machine is noticeably faster. Kudos!
