Because of prolonged sitting on the machine gave up recently to test provoked a few Linux distributions.
Since the moment I can afford to experiment with virtual - it was a fun time was to start from installing the new version of Virtual Box 3.2.
Quick installation and ... rapid return to version 3.1, which is still the time when the VB was signed with the Sun sign, rather than Oracle. Unfortunately, at the moment for me, version 3.2 is worse than the last. Created machines are unstable and lose their connection to the virtual disks. Generally work a lot slower. No, but to intervene.

And in my humble opinion - only Pardus is a chance for me to install a real disk. Why? Because it works so amazingly fast on VB, if the same will be on the disk - it's amazing system with KDE. Its otherness - is also a completely different system packages. File Manager is PiSi and the packages have the extension. Pisi.
Although a small amount of "followers" of the Turkish distribution of the number of available programs is absolutely sufficient for casual work on the desktop. Rewritten versions of the packages include the latest releases. There is also a tiny Polish Forum Pardus Pardus Linux EN
not yet figured out one problem with Pardus, namely, the distro has two ISOs, one of which is the image of the installation, the second - liveCD, apparently without an installer. How
collects the image on the VB, then pulled a liveCD ISO and the same image (without burning) installed Pardus virtually. The second picture
pulled the installation disc - burned out on the disc, the computer is started, but, unfortunately, the system is not installed, it looks as if it was not in the image of the installer. There are not a function liveCD. Wot, this curiosity. As I near Store - DVD tray will acquire (the images are more than 900 MB) and burn the same image, which I did install the VB, I wonder whether we will succeed.
Well, yes. On the blog - a novelty, a tool for experimenting with the look, a little fiddle with this yet. The Forum
Mint EN more and more users, "also made a" function "junior - admin". Recently the so-called personal reasons - a typical hole, a bit neglected the forum, but I think that I have not deleted.
And, finally picked up and installed a service, the latest Minta 9 on the drive. As usual, it runs faster than Ubuntu. In my opinion, if the Mint had the appearance and some settings, such as in Ubuntu (even though the settings menu and panels), it would be my key system because of speed.
Well, that's it for today. Plus pictures of Pardus:
