User Need: Convenient means to evaluate available Portable Operating System Unix-style (POSIX) Desktop Environments.

Suggestion: One can experience the look and feel of various Desktop Environments after using the Net Installer version of Debian Linux 8.5.0. It enables a System Administrator, or fearless user, to conveniently select and install one, several or all of the downloadable Graphical User Interface (GUI) Desktop Environments. Once installed, a user may choose the Desktop Environment during login by:

• Clicking on the Desktop Settings (Toothed Gear) icon within the login window
• Selecting the desired Desktop Environment (Checkbox)
• Entering the user name (Dialog Box after Head and Shoulder Icon) and password (Dialog Box after Key Icon).
