With apt-get. Are you familiar with apt-get? If you are, and you have
sources.list correctly configured in /etc/apt then you just login as

I would start by installing gdm with apt-get, and then look at the
manual of gdm, by typing: man gdm
In this manual you may find references to other documents on the web.
