Often, the appearance of no sound is due to the system setting the PCM input level near 0 on installation. This can be fixed with the mixer application easily enough. Video effects are often dependent upon 2d or 3d acceleration on the video board. The system likely is using the generic vesa driver which will not provide those capabilities. You will likely need to download and install the video driver for your video board/chipset from the manufacturer. As for supporting the Bulgarian language, I really can't help you there, though KDE and Gnome should have Bulgarian language files for the GUI/Desktop. As for man pages, etc. I would suggest looking on the distributions' web sites for such.

Sometimes real fast is almost as good as real time. Remember, Google is your friend!
