Don't you think it's a little inconsistent to have no trouble with the
install process from potato but be complaining about having to use
Advanced Settings to change your desktop environment?
The Advanced Settings menu is way easier to use than the potato installer!
I have a very hard time taking all of these high-minded arguments about
freedom seriously when the only problem identified is having some options
moved behind an Advanced Settings option. Good heavens. Just do what I
do, disable all the helpful package installation during the installer,
have it install a minimal system, and then install whatever you want
afterwards with aptitude.
