As I remember, there is software components selection during Debian net
install. I recomend you select lxde desktop during installation.
If you are installed system without X and now you need it, do:
apt-get install task-lxde-desktop ( for complete desktop environment )
or
apt-get install lxde ( for less complete )
lxde is best for slow machines.
