mrjeffy321 0 Posted March 8, 2006 I was under the impression that Debian Linux included a GUI interface/"Desktop" not unlike windows. I have installed Debian, but all I seem to get is a text-based comand prompt interface. Do I need to install something additional? Is there some setting I need to turn on?

danleff 0 Posted March 8, 2006 This is why I don't recommend installing Debian for users not knowledgeable about Linux. It takes a little getting used to. The basic installation will install a GUI, but I bet you missed the step. What flavor/version of Debian did you install, sarge or etch? During the installation, you should have seen a list of packages to install, under Installing and configuring packages, you should have checked off; [*] X window system [*] Desktop environment Let me see if I can find a good tutorial on this. Do you know how to use apt-get? If so, see this link. Look at the section; Installing KDE on Debian Share this post Link to post
