Hi folks,
Where could I assemble a good PC Linux (better, Mageia!;)) oriented on
the web?

I don't understand this question.

To me, 'assemble a PC' means to purchase parts, typically for a desktop computer, such as case, power supply, motherboard, CPU, ram, keyboard,
mouse, monitor, etc and 'assemble' those parts into a working computer
without an operating system such as would be installed by an OEM selling
an assembled desktop computer, typically with Windows, but sometimes
more expensively with linux.

Then, you say 'oriented on the web' -- or maybe the construction could
be reordered to be, 'where on the web could I (find the necessary pieces
and parts to) assemble a desktop PC.

Otherwise, I don't yet understand what 'oriented on the web' means.

I am afraid I agree with Easter on this. You state you want to
"assemble" a "PC Linux" or "Mageia". Both are software operating system together with a huge set of programs. They run on computers. You can get
them for free-- no assembly needed, just installation.

Or as Easter muses, you are refering to assembling hardare parts into a computer capable of running thos operating system. But almost any PC,
even if it comes with say Microsoft installed, can have either operating
system installed.

As you can see we are confused by your question. If you told us what you
want, we could be of much greater help.

You and Mike are right, my fault.
I've bought my last computer in a webshop, where i could plan the configuration of the hardware choosing in different profiles, and then
the shop send me the assembled product, without OS.
This, fourteen years ago.
In the meanwhile this shop closed its activity and now I'm searching for
a similar solution.

..... or BOTH OS's installed .... i.e. Dual Boot.

In that case it would help to say where you are in the world. It wold
hardly be useful to tell you about places in London when you live in SanFrancisco or Shanghi. Also it might help to say what special things
you need. The parts for a computer are often far more retail than the
proce of the preassembled. I agree that 14 years is a really long time
for a computer to last, so that parts were clearly of good quality. But
that is not always the case, and has very little to do with the operating system.
