Please ignore that content, it needs update. If you have doubts about
the Debian Desktop status ask on debian-desktop mailing list
(debian-desktop@lists.debian.org) or read the following:

In short, with Etch you will be able to install a complete desktop
environment (default is GNOME), but there are first CD alternatives
containing KDE and other Xfce. If you don't have bandwidth issues
you're free to download netinst images and install desktop (twm),
gnome-desktop, kde-desktop or xfce-desktop. We call these set of
packages tasks (package: tasksel) but you're also able to install them
using aptitude.
During Lenny development cycle we will work more for further desktop
customizations through others packages preseeding (eg: grub to deliver
a splash screen during boot using splashy or usplash). Get involved
