This probably means that you did not install or wrongly configured a
graphical environment. I also deduce from your question that you are
probably completely new to linux.
I would suggest you buy a basic book on using linux.
To install a graphical environment, you should log in as root and try the
following command:
# aptitude install x-window-system-core xscreensaver kde kdm
If you did select the desktop task and it does not start up, try the
following command (again as root):
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
If you have any further questions, please ask them on the debian-user
mailing list or the #debian IRC channel on irc.debian.org.
I'm closing this report as the installation was successful.
Cheers,
FJP
