Installing XFree86

Hello, I've got a basic Debian Woody installation on a Pentium III 550 with 196 megs of ram. I'd like to install the X windowing system. I've looked over the packages available with names like x-window-system and x-window-system-core, and xfree86-common and I have no idea where to start. None of
