Source Mage GNU/Linux distribution is based on a sorcerous metaphor of "casting" and "dispelling" packages, which we refer to as "spells".
This is a development ISO and potentially loaded with bugs and glitches. This is where you come in. We need your help to squash these bugs.
Please download, burn, and install this ISO to a spare partition, extra computer, or over your least favorite friend's Windows partition. VMWare or bochs works too. Upon finding a glitch, please report it in bugzilla. No bug is too small, or too large.
