Hello,

But you DO have a choice on which GUI to install. It depends on which 
install CD or DVD you download. There is an 180MB CD  ( called netinst 
as far as i can remember ) that only offers the basic system, with no 
GUI and no Login Manager. After you get that CD installed, you are free 
to install whatever you want, assuming you have a working internet 
connection!
Take a look here:    http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/432

BR,
