I only use Western Digital drives. Not one has failed in my life unless is was dropped or mishandled. Seagate drives have given me the most trouble, very non-durable. Anyway, I also like how much cheaper disks are. I just want to solve the speed issue. I dont need instant access -- perhaps ill

It's not much different from the GUI installer. The defaults are good, partitioning automatic, network is auto-configured. Only select the DE that you want to use (mini, Triskel KDE or MATE Trisquel desktop). It looks more or less identical to Debian's text mode installer.
