I dunno, I've always installed whatever ubuntu has on the base install, 
as I figure the original has a better chance at installing my drivers, 
etc. correctly from the get go. THEN I install whatever desktop I wish 
to use instead. That has been the only time I've ever used gnome ...just 
long enough to insure synaptic is installed and then I load up from 
there. For me, the entire discussion is futile. I get a great install 
experience, everything works and I just chose the desktop I prefer 
...for free. It doesn't get any better than that. it's not as if Deep 
Thought has rolled it all into one take-it-or-leave-it ball.

So, pity the Windows users who will get a similar interface and PAY  it!
