    But the inverse is that you'd have to know exactly what package you need to install, and manually installing many packages that are default in the desktop version is time consuming.

    but if you don't like any of the desktops that come with the standard ubuntu distributions (which is my situation), then installing the one of your choice requires this anyway. my preference is to start with a cleaner slate. I don't want the any of other desktops hanging around taking up space.
    What can this strange device be?
    When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
    It's got wires that vibrate and give music
    What can this thing be that I found?
