the fact that the users go for the default desktop, doesn't mean
they are
not confused.
Sure, new users are confused about everything.
i believe the NEW users still confused even after burning the image.
because
they will say "if this copy has a GUI desktop, what the version does
then??", or "it seems the other version doesn't have a GUI at all!!".
New users aren't likely to even understand there is anything but a GUI
desktop or that there are options for the desktop. They are used to a
world where there is *the* desktop.
the default version should be the DVD version. other options can be
the KDE
live media & GNOME live media. if the user doesn't know what is KDE or
GNOME, then, he should read a wiki page that helps him to understand the
meaning of desktop.
Since this conversation is about sleeves for media and most physical
media that we produce really isn't going to these sorts of new users I
think we are just drifting into another conversation about the
project's general treatment of desktop options which, while I'm
sympathetic to those who don't like the way they are treated now, is
basically a hoofies-up debate at this point.
