Depends a lot on the package selection, of which you only mentioned gdm. 
I have a Debian graphical installations in less than 2 GB.

Try this (as root):

    du / -h --max-depth=1

If /usr is big you need to uninstall packages. If /var is big apt-get 
autoclean/clean may help. If /home is big that that's your files ;)

Following commands may free up some space for you, but do read
'man apt-get' for details:

    apt-get autoremove
    apt-get autoclean # not needed if you run the next one
    apt-get clean

Kind regards,
Andrei
