What a coincidence, I just installed VirtualBox and was looking for

All I want to be able to do with my VM is be able to build GDC for my
RasPi (via all the hoops that are necessary to get cross compilation
working), not bothered about any GUI stuff or bells/whistles,
suggestions for a good distro to go with are welcome!
Ubuntu 12.04 was working perfectly fine for me. Another alternative
could be Linux Mint. I haven't used it myself but I heard it's basically
Ubuntu with less bells and whistles, i.e they're not using the Unity GUI.

Ubuntu 12.10/gnome classic works well enough; just turn off compiz. I
tried mint and ran into trouble while compiling llvm. make gobbled
memory for a while, and then the desktop restarted itself (I guess?).
All my windows: gone.
