Mageia Linux FAIL!

Well, this is for the LOLs now...

I just installed for testing the Mageia 4.1 Xfce on the C710...
Everything ok, except the Mageia cannot detect the SOUND, yea there is no sound!

so....

rm -rf Mageia-4.1-dual-DVD.iso


UPDATE: as I read from their forums, this is a bug, say from 2009, well
I now can understand how shit is this distro ... 

MiST FPGA... more Amiga (Minimig core) that ST

In the case you are looking to get the MiST FPGA to replace your ancient ST you will dissapointed.

I had hopes that the ST core would be nice, but in fact is limited. Well, the midi addon is cool, I m not using it anyway.
I tried to play some demos, almost 0% success, as it seems the video chip is not impemented 100% there.
There are features like super monochrome monitor and STEroids (like Turbo STE), but again the inability to run Demos its a big minus for the ST core.

On the other hand , cores like Atari 800 and Minimig, are performing very well.
