workstation
The workstation flavor is a minimal desktop system. It includes the core flavor plus these mix-ins: X, audio, dvd, media, console-extras
desktop
The desktop flavor is a full-featured desktop system, minus desktop environment (add KDE, GNOME or XFCE as a mix-in.) It includes the workstation flavor plus printing support.
