While it could be an advantage to have two or more different installs
for an experienced user, I agree with Liam on that. Even for an
experienced user it's not easy to maintain more than two installs, a
not that experienced user should start by maintaining one install.

That's correct. The only pitfall are some gnomish file managers that by
default start in desktop mode, IRRC at least caja, nemo and nautilus
do, but we could help you to avoid this, since at least caja and nemo
provide a --no-desktop option and nautilus most likely does, too.

No, you first wipe and format and after that you continue with the
installation, in the manual way, Liam already described.

Do you have access to another computer, to keep in touch with the
mailing list, after you wiped out all installs?
