Re: alternate or desktop?
The 'desktop' is the LiveCD. The Alternate is not. The LiveCD allows you to 'try' before you 'buy - install'. The Alternate is an 'install now' CD.Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007

Also, it looked to me like Wubi is only on the 'desktop' CDComment

Re: alternate or desktop?
There's a couple of other differences: The alternate installer is text based rather than graphical for one.
The main reason I know of to use the alternate is if you need RAID and/or LVM support during the install.
I use a RAID0 partition for my OS so I always use the alternate to install.Comment

Re: alternate or desktop?
The Alternate CD has a lot more packages on the CD itself -- that what fills the space left by omitting the KDE desktop GUI.Comment
