+# Installation of Desktop system
+
+> Install Debian with Xfce from stable/testing image to encrypted disk
+
+
+## Image
+
+Use Debian.
+Install either the [stable][] release for most reliable needs,
+or a [testing][] snapshot for more excitement.
+
+You will need network access during install
+for downloading hundreds of megabytes of additional software from Debian.
+
+If your computer cannot use network with Free drivers
+(most wifi cards and a few wired cards),
+then you can try the [non-free stable] or [non-free testing] image.
+Use of those images is **not** recommended.
+Make sure that their **non-free** licensing terms are acceptable to you!
+
+[stable]: <https://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/>
+  "Official stable images, via Bittorrent or for direct download"
+
+[testing]: <https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/>
+  "Official testing images, via Bittorrent or for direct download"
+
+[non-free stable]: <https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/current/multi-arch/iso-cd/>
+  "Unofficial non-free stable images including firmware packages"
+
+[non-free testing]: <https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/weekly-builds/multi-arch/iso-cd/>
+  "Unofficial non-free testing images including firmware packages"
+
+
+## Disk protection
+
+You are recommended to use full disk encryption.
+
+This protects your personal data stored on the harddisk
+from being accessible by others
+e.g. if your computer gets stolen.
+
+Beware that disk encryption does not protect
+from access while the computer is turned on,
+and if you forget your disk password then the data is lost!
+
+During install,
+select "Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM"
+when formatting the harddisk.
+
+
+## Desktop
+
+The Xfce desktop is recommended
+as a conservative desktop environment.
+
+You tell during installation that you want to [install Xfce].
+
+[install Xfce]: <https://wiki.debian.org/Xfce#How_to_install_Xfce>
+  "How to install Xfce"
+
+
+## See also
+
+Install chapter in The [Debian handbook][].
