The only difference is the installer. Desktop is with a graphical installer (live cd) and alternate is text-based. The graphical installer is easier for newbies.

"The alternate install CD allows you to perform certain specialist installations of Ubuntu. It provides for the following situations:

* creating pre-configured OEM systems;
* setting up automated deployments;
* upgrading from older installations without network access;
* LVM and/or RAID partitioning;
* installing GRUB to a location other than the Master Boot Record;
* installs on systems with less than about 192MB of RAM."

BTW, you don't have to shout, hit your caps-lock.

Can you help with this problem?
