I first installed ALT in VirtualBox, and I just liked the little 
details. A no-bullshit KDE 3.5.x desktop, with just the right 
adjustments. (For example, replace KMail by Thunderbird, which is a good 
idea, since KMail's IMAP support is buggy). And I like the sober 
appearance, like SUSE, but less glossy. Clean and understated.

The speed of your response is already part of the answer.

Ah yes, one first spoiler. I just made some space on a "real" (e. g. 
non-virtual) PC, and first failure: when I choose "Destroy all 
partitions, then autopartitions", packages are all "installed", but then 
the installer exits with a general failure for all the packages. Looks 
like it forgot to format. Now I'm currently running it again, this time 
with "Custom install".

Cheers,

Niki
