whenever i install ubuntu using alternate install CD I will encounter this screen, can anybody explain the significance of the setting "Typical usage" ??

My interpretation (that is: guess) was that this would allow you specify other types of usage, such as the 'lots of small files' type of usage you might see with squid or an e-mail directory, vs the 'few big files' you might see with a media server so that it could adjust the number of inodes appropriately (or, just possibly, the use of write barriers, but that seems less likely).
Now as this is a complete guess, and I'm certainly prepared to be proved wrong (and learn from that): to that end, can you have a look at what other options there are other than 'typical usage', because then we should be able to be definitive about what this is about, please?

it is something similar to what you have said. I tried a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 using alternate cd to find out this
