manual installation => better stability ?

[JC Cheloven]

Hi, I've read elsewhere that an installation of a simple command-line system (from an alternate cd for example), followed by manual installation of the other components, say something like this:

sudo aptitude install xorg
sudo aptitude install metacity
sudo aptitude install gdm
sudo aptitude install gnome-terminal
sudo reboot
sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop

would lead to improved stability compared to an standard installation.
I can't figure out the reasons for that supposed 'improved stability', but have no arguments to discard it either. Anyone knows about it, or tried out that way?
Greetings

In some way, it would provide stability because it gives you more control/option on the installation process. Like choosing which module to install into the kernel, a choice of which boot loader you wanted to be installed (i.e:LILO/GRUB). In one way or the other, their isn't big difference on both.
