This time I have chosen LXDE as the default desktop environment to save system recourses. If you are not an expert you will find everything you need on the desktop and in the menu. When you are an expert you will know where to look for the good stuff. The system holds a lot of CLI tools so check before installing for it is quite likely installed already.
