I liked very much the idea that installer should somehow "check" the hardware and if it is too weak to run KDE/GNOME, the installer should as default promote e.g. XFCE and/or notify user KDE/GNOME would require more CPU, memory, whatever. I have no idea how difficult would it be. I think everyone can imagine frustration from running terribly slooooooow system. Especially when some more lightweight DE would run fast on very same HW.
While this might seem like a good idea at first, imagine a user (not necessarily a newbie) doing three installations on three slightly different machines, doing exactly the same every time and getting three totally different results.
Not good.
I would expect different installations on different hardware.
But sometimes you have to differ between what Carlos expects and what users expect.
:-) I meant rather that it would not surprise me at all it happening. That I expect the operating system installer (any system) to make automated choices based on my hardware, choose the best for my machine. I didn't mean to say that it is really happening. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
