Well, to be fair, these things are not intuitive to the typical person whose sole experience with "computers" is with "Microsot Windoze."
These systems do not give you "a choice." They run the one way that they run, and if you don't like it, all you can do about it is to write columns and publish them in magazines.
The notion of being able to remotely connect to another system, even one that doesn't have a video-card installed, and conduct a full-fledged GUI session with it, while paying not one thin dime to do so, is utterly and completely alien.
The notion of being able to choose your desktop, or to choose not to have one at all, is incomprehensible to a person whose only computational experience is Windoze.
Just to make things more confusing:
Q1 xfce is a little mouse running inside your computer.
Q2 KDE - Kids Diligently Eating
Q3 Gnome - An ancient creature who lives under a bridge and eats children.
Q4 Fluxbox - flex box makes your computer flexable.
Q5 Blackbox- "What! I can't see a thing!"
No seriously...
First of all, PLEASE properly title the threads you start.
But even more importantly, PLEASE use the search engines. Google is your friend. Also, please use the Linux Question search before posting. People here are truly willing to answer your questions if you show some effort in trying to solve it yourself.
