I don't think pi lite boots fast I saw a video, i wanted one though :/ , can you give me a boot tim ...

It boots with the exact same speed as any other H2/H3 board and it mostly depends from SD card you used for the system.

Debian Jessie

Debian Stretch
Little faster. Better SD card and without USB hub containing wireless and BT

And you fail to see large download links? There are CLI or desktop images.

i need a very small desktop image with only very few pre-installed software.

Than download command line interface image. Start armbian-config -> system and install minimal desktop from it. If this option is not present then you need to switch to night beta repository (or use armbian-config from here https://github.com/armbian/config) and do it again.

You will end up with the plain desktop without any applications besides xterm, settings, htop, ... very minimal. No browser or anything heavy.
