Not against a definition of desktop environment but this definition is innaccurate and we should avoid the use of the word server. A "desktop environment provides a standardised set of widgets and a window manager" would be simpler. Generic definitions of DE tend to err on the side of covering everything from GUI to applications - there are still a number of us who prefer to use only a window manager.

I can see why you would want to include a command line version, however it is best that we stick to the use of synaptic for cohesion across the documentation. Such a link would arguably be more useful in the server guide or in reference to alternate installs.
