netinstall; first timer's question

Hi,
I installed MATE [1] with Trisquel and noticed that I had a number of duplicate programs (eg. two different file browsers).
I can avoid duplicate programs with netinstall + MATE, right? Are there any extra steps necessary for a fully functional desktop with GUI? Will MATE launch automatically when I subsequently turn my computer on?
If I use netinstall+MATE, will I still have all the BASH programs (not sure how else to describe these) that I need to fix my computer fans [2] etc?
I think you can install a minimal base system from any ISO. Just do the text installer and leave all desktop out. Then install X and add MATE or any other DE. You'll have to install all other programs one by one if they are not included in MATE. The usual repos are there, so it's no big deal if you are missing a few bits. Add them when needed. That's how I did a base system and added X and CDE.
Hi muhammed ;-)
You can remove unwanted/duplicate packages with Synaptic package Manager
The NetInstall will propose you eitheir a command line installation or a Text-based Installer(like Debian)

Noticing that the choice of Desktop Environment is either
(Gnome)?..(I am not sure seeing i have allways chosen Mini Environment)
or
LXDE(Mini)

Another alternative is Uruk 1.0 which has Maté as default Desktop and is a fork/respin of Trisquel

Uruk seems easier since it's all set up out of the box. Thanks MD!
I'm running it 90% of the time and it's great !
i just changed the default to Black Maté

I just saw the screen that you posted; very cool!

No, you need to start X (I don't remember, but I think the command is "startx"). At least that's what I had to do with my i3wm install until I configured a file to make it start without my input.
You'll definitely have a CLI with BASH, but you might have to "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install" some programs. No big deal.
The problem I faced with my net install is that i3wm is really minimalist, so wifi, and making hard drives to mount/unmount/eject automatically (or close to that) was tough for me.
But maybe the default MATE comes with lots of fully featured programs, or maybe you'll have to add some more programs, hopefully avoiding duplicates.
