Hmmm. I did not read the thread but this can be achieved by
# cd /etc/pam.d
# cp gdm gdm-noautologin
# cp -f gdm-autologin gdm
This will skip password login to user account.
Then go to GDM start screen and select configuration and set
autologin user name there. This will allow initial user name to be
provided automatically. At this toime you can choose desktop
environment (Gnome, KDE, XFce,...)
or I think (vague memory) first part can be simplified:
# dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low gdm
If you need to start arbitual program during standard X start up, drop
start up script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/

Hmmm... I think 1GB is enough for basic desktop if you are careful.
250 MB is good console only system if you are careful.
Anyway, for complete answer will likely not ibe answered in few lines
here. You are at work on non-trivial Project and gratis support for
such project is limitted. Hire consultant or look for google for some
howto and read some basic Debian and Linux documentation, i.e., learn
how to do this yourself. Good luck.
Cheers,
Osamu
