Debian is a brilliant server - no doubt about that. But one would think that Mageia that pride themselves on their server (it is a good server) would use their own stuff.
To my great surprise my Magic hacking (shodan) came up with this:

HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently

These are the data for:
http://mageiavm.osuosl.org/

Which in fact is the Mageia forum. Somewhat surprising. The server is in the Oregon State System of Higher Education.
It seems to only be a redirection though. And I am not that good at using shodan but it looks like a surprising result
(Not in France - and not Mageia software).
This is nothing compared to Openmandriva though; they seem to be playing around with Ubuntu servers.

And all their servers seem to be located in the UK (Hi GCHQ !) This looks odd in view of the tremendous efforts to make Openmandriva a French Association.
Openmandriva seems to be using Cherokee, Apache, and nginx servers.

Most of Mageia's servers are in Marseille. They also have some "cloud" capacity.

OpenMandriva's servers are in Zurich and Paris.

Yes that was my impression too but one would think that at least one French location would turn up here

Mageias servers turn up in France as expected:
