This post is more like a note to myself.
Elementary OS is a distro which uses ubuntu as its base os. But unlike the other ubuntu based distros it's a class apart. It uses its own custom developed applications,icons and themes and everything works as a coherent unit.
The os is still in beta as developers want to release a thoroughly tested stable version for its users.
But that didn't force you to wait for its stable release. You can try the unstable builds (which are actually pretty stable). I was using the bleeding edge version of eOS for last 6 months or so until I purchase the new laptop (in which I installed Ubuntu 13.04 with dual booting Windows 8). So this time I decided to try it in Virtual Box.
So these are the links:
Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/elementaryos/files/unstable/
Download the latest released iso (should be the first one)
I was also using the elementary daily ppa to update my old eOS installation daily.
So once installed the latest unstable build, add the daily ppa to it.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
This will keep all your installed eOS packages to bleeding edge.
If you are looking for the beta release image, please download it from here.
Warning :
Bleeding edge shouldn't be used on a production system. It is only for testing purpose and to attain our own geeky nirvana.
