Yes, Debian offers a number of different GUI environments. However the
fundamental interface is text-based, and you will probably want to learn
about it as well.
It sounds as if you have very little Unix/Linux background. I'd
strongly recommend you look at an introductory book such as "Running
Linux" or "Learning Debian GNU/Linux", both published by O'Reilly, the
latter available online at their website (http://www.ora.com/). This
should help explain much to you.
