debian live usb - What do I download?
This happens every time I decide to try Linux. It's a complete show-stopper. I just go back to MS-Windows.
1 - Google search for: debian live usb
The first hit is this: Debian -- Live install images
2 - I click the first hit's link and am taken here:
http://www.debian.org/CD/live/
3 - I see "Is a live image suitable for me?" I already know what a live image is, but I read anyway. I read about 'Launcher' and 'Flavors' and 'Size'. I don't understand any of it. I think 'Flavors' is about various desktops (i.e., GUIs). Way back when, I knew what X-Windows was and used it at a client's site. I don't know anything about the desktop choices and I don't understand why Linux has all these choices. I assume that all this front-loading means that I can't change desktops after installation.
4 - I see "CD/DVD/USB (via BitTorrent)". Below it, I click the 'amd64' link. I'm taken here:
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/bt-hybrid/
5 - On that page I'm presented with the following list:
debian-live-6.0.6-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso.torrent
debian-live-6.0.6-amd64-kde-desktop.iso.torrent
debian-live-6.0.6-amd64-lxde-desktop.iso.torrent
debian-live-6.0.6-amd64-rescue.iso.torrent
debian-live-6.0.6-amd64-standard.iso.torrent
debian-live-6.0.6-amd64-xfce-desktop.iso.torrent
What do I download? Can't I decide on desktop later? Why do all Linux sites seem to talk around subjects without really saying anything?
Thanks for any help you can give - Mark.
