Better choise to get the basic X setup is
apt-get install x-windows-system-core
Other packages you realy want are:
- a window manager, e.g. twm
- a terminal emulator, e.g. xterm
You can also use
apt-get install kde or gnome
to get all the desktop bloat in one go. [But I think gnome just got
broken in todays mozilla upload (version conflicts till epiphany is
updated too)].
Further you might like to look at dselect or aptitude (apt-get install
aptitude if missing) for an overview what else is there.
