/Background
I'm relatively new to Linux. I got my feet wet by installing
Squeeze (6.0.5) on a used laptop (Lenovo R61) purchased
explicitly purchased for experimenting. Having used computers
since Hector was a pup, accidents happen.
As I have minimal to *NO INTERNET* access, when Debian 7.1 DVDs
became available from vendors I purchased the 10 DVD set. I also
purchased the live DVDs for Gnome, lxde, kde, and xfce. I did
some test runs of each. I chose xfce for my initial Wheezy
install based almost exclusively on "look and feel". It felt
"comfortable" and seemed to express my somewhat vague ideas of
how a GUI should 'act'.
It was an educational experience. Each had something I'd like to
see in an ideal installation. I also did more web browsing
comparing "Desktop Environments" to "Windows Managers" and
product comparisons within those classifications.
/Questions
1. Given that I prefer LILO over GRUB and xfce over
Gnome/lxde/kde, what GUIs should I investigate further.
2. Given that internet is effectively non-existent and
internal/external disk space is effectively unlimited, how can I
make as many as possible of the DE &/or WM on the distribution
DVD simply available to experiment with?
TIA
