To have a auto-login, you can also modify "/etc/inittab" and
replace a "/sbin/getty" by "/bin/sh".
The better with those solutions is the removal of a useless
software.

That is reason I'm learning Debian instead of Ubuntu.
I'm exploring just how many undesired I get with any
flavor of Gnome.
I suspect I'm looking more for a display manager than a
desktop
environment. I'm beginning to think the line between them
can at times
be blurry.

I can understand, I did the same.
IMHO, best WM are tiling one, and in those, I have choosen
i3, for it's ease of configuration and the philosophy is not
to limit the number of lines of code, just to not add
useless features (avoid making a bloatware)

I experimented with several desktops and liked the look and feel of Gnome best. That may change with the newest Gnome - do not like what I've seen so far.


My other advice would like to install debian with as less
packagages as possible: aka: disable all task at install
time, and add softwares one after one when you need it.

That's the procedure I've been using.

Also, keep a file to remember which soft you prefer, because
you'll need many experimentation.

I hope to do that by a series of preseed.cfg files. That will allow me to easily reinstall a previous configuration for comparison to whatever is my current "favorite".
