Hi
I'm building a home server and I want to install debian server on a mirrored zfs pool of 2 Sandisk Plus 240GB SSD's as described in this very detailed guide on the OpenZFS webside. Needles to say that the server will be running headless as much as possible.
In the system requirements section of guide they very specifically say to use a debian install disk WITH a GUI though it doesn't seem to me that they ever use that GUI for everything and nowhere in the guide do they state what version of debian buster, i.e server or desktop, will actually be installed in the end.
Can any of you help me decipher the installation guide to see which version (server or desktop) will actually be installed following this guide, and in case it's in fact debian desktop, what do I need to adjust to install debian server?
I guess that some of the main points of interest in this rather long guide is the three steps listed below, but I might be wrong:

- Step 3.4 - Install the minimal system
- Step 8.1 - Upgrade the minimal system
- Step 9.1 - Wait for the system to boot normally. Login using the account you created <-- Does this indicate GUI??
