I'm currently working in a semi DevOps role where I manage the infrastructure for our clients. I have been wanting to dive deeper into Linux, so I decided to install a virtual machine. However, I've tried twice to install the netinst Debian 12 image, but I keep ending up with the graphical version. I need help choosing the right image and configuring it properly using Virtual Machine Manager on my Fedora system. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

When installing Debian, make sure to uncheck all the desktop environment options and only select the 'ssh server' and 'standard system utilities'. This should help you get a minimal installation without the GUI.
Okay, I think I missed that part. I only selected the standard system utilities last time. I'll definitely give it another shot. Thanks!
