If you use the "alternate" CD, the standard installation will give you a
graphical install with Gnome ( the Ubuntu Desktop),  just like the
"Desktop" live CD - the only difference is the installer, which is in text
mode. This installer is more likely to work with low RAM machines than the
Desktop CD graphical installer, and is more flexible in the choices you
can make.

The "alternate" CD also gives you the option to install a "bare bones"
system without any graphical interface, but if you just hit the enter key
when the menu appears on boot-up,  it will give you the same final
system  as the live/Desktop CD.

I hope this explains the difference.
