My experience: not bad, but takes a little effort: tarred everything on the
machine and newly installed Mageia official, upgraded to cauldron and
untarred local machine settings I require. For example shorewall, aliases,
urpmi's skiplist, rkhunter.conf, logrotate specific settings, /usr/local
and anything else privately configured. Merely kept my home and formatted
everything else. I got into the hang of this when half a year ago I upgraded
32 to 64 bits.
