Depending on what you want to use it for, it could stand as is, as an OS and Desktop, plus some included software. This is not true of a Debian net install, which predicates that you will need to get at least some stuff off the internet in order to be operational. Even with the addition of a few extra programs (Thunderbird, Firefox and one or two others) my husband finds it much faster than the full distro. There is basically only one of anything. And that, on the whole, one of the lighter versions. I have swapped one or two of the lighter versions for something heavier weight but more operational. E.g. I uninstalled the very unimpressive CD/DVD burner that there was already there, and installed K3b. Much heavier, but it works so well that it was worth it.
