Even if that is technically correct (it can be use to install only X, if you configure the installer to not install Recommends), it is, in my not so humble opinion, an inefficient way to do it and can also have unintended consequences (what if I want to have only X, but with all Recommends?). > I suspect many of the newbies to Linux will have heard about GNOME, KDE, along > with the suggestion to consider one of the other much simpler desktops.

Best to keep it as simple as possible. Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
