As root, do the following apt-get update apt-get install task-kde-desktop lightdm This will install the KDE desktop environment. There are many other desktop environments available in Debian. But for new users, I always recommend KDE as it has all the bells and whistles that one can think of. The only downside with KDE is that it will occupy more space and requires memory to run. hope that helps raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog
