I have installed Debian and want to use a gui to install otherpackages such as Squid. My purpose is use the server for caching webpages. I am NEW to linux and do not know how to make Debian give mea gui interface at boot.


Try "apt-get install x-window-system kde kdm synaptic".

This should install a basic X Window System, with the KDE environment(lots of bells and whistles, so hope you have plenty of horse power /RAM), and the KDM graphical login manager which will start the gui atboot. It'll also install Synaptic, which is a gui front-end to apt.
