The proposal to have two DVDs, one for Gnome+KDE, another for the rest, would be more adjusted, IMO.
To provide a maximum of confusion to esp. new user?
Why would it be confusing? :-o
There is at least a very popular distribution that has a different media for each desktop.
....and I feel this is complete rubbish. Thats just the charme of openSUSE, that you are able to install every desktop from the same basis.
Well, this is no longer true: the 15.0 DVD doesn't have all the desktops, that is precisely the issue.
For myself, I mostly use Netinstaller anyway, as bandwidth is not a topic over here.
If bandwidth is a topic, then you are in an emerging region, to phrase it positively. And then it is very likely that you dont have the latest hardware with double-layer DVD writer and so on. So keeping it stupid, nice and easy cant be that wrong....
And this is not true, either. For instance, I have a fine internet at home, but not when I'm not home: it becomes capped. Others install in a restricted environment, where Internet is not permitted for security reasons. Some have limited Internet, even living in "emerged" regions. So they download the DVD on a library, say. Some live in a rural or distant area with limited bandwidth in an "emerged" region. Distant can be "distant from the phone exchange". That has been my case for years, only 1 Mb/s In all of these cases, people can have the latest hardware. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
