That's the first I've heard of a separate partition that holds both data and programs. That's neat. I'll have to check it out. How does openSUSE compare to other Linux distros? Any advantages or drawbacks?
How to resize a Virtual Hard Disk in VirtualBox

It seems a solid system if a bit heavyweight with the default KDE desktop. I myself prefer Linux Mint with the lightweight LXDE desktop. Ubuntu has gone downhill in it's latest releases IMO which is why I am looking at others.

I also have Linux Mint (Gnome) in VirtualBox. I use the cinnamon desktop. I have installed new themes for it, although the cinnamon themes thread in the Linux Mint forums has disappeared since then. I like it pretty well. I haven't tried the LXDE desktop yet.

I just downloaded it. I will install it in VirtualBox now.

I'm running Linux Mint LXDE in VirtualBox now. Very similar to Lubuntu. I tried Kubuntu but had problems with the update manager. It wasn't ready for prime time.

Yes Lubuntu is LDXE as well but I had problems with installing it. Malwarebytes real time protection objected to some of the addresses it was trying to connect to during installation.

I had Malwarebytes real-time protection on my old XP system. I didn't like it too much, with all of the popups from the system tray. On my new Win 7 PC I have Norton Antivirus and Comodo firewall, with the free version of Malwarebytes. That setup seems to work pretty well. If I stick with the Linux Mint LXDE, I might just delete my Lubuntu VM.
