Linuxcnc only really needs one image, it's not really meant to be a General Purpose Distro, that is the image that has all that is required to get up and going. Anything else may cause confusion, as I've noticed some people can be a bit adverse to reading information or there can be a language issue. A developer will be able to get all the bits & pieces they need. In my opinion an image without a UI doesn't make much sense for Linuxcnc. And "normal" & "minimal" are quite subjective. When Rod and myself were discussing the building the building of images we had different ideas as to what was required, I opted for a more complete desktop where Rod just went for "what was required", although I did uninstall libreoffice to reduce download size. I also included the "gvfs" stuff, to make it easier to connect via sftp from the file manager to different machines. I didn't push the issue as Rod is the more Senior member, so what Rod went for was great, I just kept doing things my way for personal use.
