During install you are offered KDE, Gnome, Other. Choose "other", and then you will see xfce. As for a release, choose "Leap 42.1". Or if you like betas, 42.2. If you install on a virtual machine, change the default partition setup. By default it will use btrfs for "/", and if the space is big enough, a separate "/home" with XFS. On virtual machines, I think it is better to avoid btrfs, and go with ext4. For btrfs I would recommend a root partition of 100 GB to take full advantage of its features (snapshots). -- Cheers, Carlos.
