To give you a choice of which desktop or desktops to install, or no GUI at all. With Linux you can install and run multiple desktops, if you want to. > I thought that Debian is GNOME by default... It is, but you don't have to use/install it if you don't want to. > Also, what's the lightest desktop? Default, XFCE or LXDE...? XFCE, LXDE, LXQt are all considered "light" desktops. Running only a window manager (I use Openbox. There are many others.) is even lighter. B
