I believe it gives you the option of aptitude, dselect, or tasksel.  If you 
don't really know what packages you want, tasksel will give you a halfway 
decent running system and then you can just apt-get other stuff as you 
want it.  Using dselect is usually just a pain.  I used aptitude on my 
last install (it was on i386, though) to get X/KDE and synaptic and then 
did the rest from there.
