Yes, thats what I did, installed then patched a system in VirtualBox and then installed the resulting image on a real machine

That is also a way that most people (at least ones that I know) make images used for external bootable devices (DVD, USB, PXE, etc.). Make an image in Virtualbox (or VMware) then write that image to a bootable media device (in your case a hard disk).

Ubuntu for me! I tried fedora 11 but didn't have a good first experience. I might give it a shot later on. But for now Ubuntu karmi koala is the winner for me!!!!!!!!!!

fedora 11s installer is crap. Crashes all the time during partitioning, generally bricking windows in the process. fedora is so buggy.

There are bugs everywhere, where there is software actively developed 
if you want an OS with a small amount of bugs on your desktop, stick to RHEL Desktop edition. No bleeding edge software, but it works nicely.

well then, you have to take your chances with the not so well tested software.
