So I would leave the text installer on 'regular' status IMO.
That thought went through my mind too but I discounted it because it seemed we were looking at i386 and amd64 documentation. If -user had a question about the regular/normal/usual/default user interface for Jessie I would say it is definitely the graphical one. However, since you are doing the work it is your call. :) (I wonder whether using Debian makes either of us regular guys?). > > I'm unsure whether a reference to the X Window System is useful, even > > for those who know what it is. > > For users who have worked with Debian in the past already, it would not > hurt to leave that hint in place.
