I haven't used the Ubuntu alternate, but when using Debian's mini
installer (which is presumably similar), the main differences are:
(as Ali said) the installer's interface (it is not memory hungry or pretty)
no live CD version
you can tweak some things that you wouldn't normally be able to tweak
(this may not be true in Ubuntu's alt install.... I used Debian mini iso)
But I think Ali's point is the main one. It is for installing on
something that doesn't have enough RAM to run ubiquity or a live
environment. It just pulls everything in and installs it, rather than
looking beautiful and giving you a modern neat install process.

Hi everybody,
How are you, my dear friend?
Do you know any difference in the final installed system after using the
desktop installer compared to the alternate installer?
Long story short, none.
There is no difference in the final installed system. I'd be shocked
if there will be any ;)
I'm sure you know why there is an alternate ISO and why there is
desktop ISO = difference in the installer :)
That is all :)
P.S.
That is why for example Ubuntu GNOME don't have alternate as we don't
target the low power machines :)
Best regards

I'm not sure if the installed 32-bit systems are exactly the same, but
at least they are very similar. I have not noticed any difference.
There is at least one significant difference concerning the 64-bit
systems: Only the desktop installer can install into UEFI, if I remember
correctly.
But I am also interested in observations from other users, or even
better, from the developers :-)
