I've always thought V10 of Mint to be the best, but others might have a different opinion.
On my system, I always get the best results from an ISO using a DVD irrespective of the size and burning at 4x with ImgBurn. This always proves more reliable than using CD's (where size is possible) and/or using Brasero or K3B on Linux.

Bodhi Linux was a worthwhile experience but its time to move on. It still has stability issues even while running in persistent mode. I still maintain that its not an ideal distro for inexperienced users however I will say the pre-configured packages they include in their software manager goes a long way to address the issue.
I am off to PClinuxOS minime its a minimal distro and therefore it will allow me to install just the software I want. I appreciate that the website states that this version is only appropriate for experienced users. From the website Quote:

PCLinux Xfce has also just been updated

Further to my post above, I downloaded PCL Xfce and still the same issue. I have two mobile broadband modems and both return a message "unable to open blah, blah". Go to their forum and there is different advice about install this, edit that as root then jump through 19 more hoops but still none of it works for me. Considering that all Gnome (to my knowledge) and most other Xfce and KDE distros now recognize these modems, I cannot understand why some distros still fail to address the fundamental requirement for most folks of getting connected.

Pity. As a full install, Kororaa 15 on my machine is the most stable experience I've had with Linux. V16 does not support my four speaker sound system so I never upgraded. I see that Fedora is chucking out public releases of 17 now so maybe when Kororaa follows this I can upgrade then.

Although not ultra heavy, Kororaa is not exactly light either but modern machines have no issues with this and you can always edit your desktop effects if you're not fussed about having all the candy.

The alpha version of the new LTS based release is now out for those brave enough to try it (which isn't me)
