The X-Window-System (or in short, X) has to be installed and configured
on your system to provide you with the capability of running a desktop
manager like Gnome or KDE.
 
I strongly advise you to become familiar with your system only using the
shell before running X. Since Linux in general and Debian in particular
does not pursue the MS Windows way of 'plug and pray', being able to
understand the system internal functions is more important, but also
more rewarding here.

Have a look at the following pages if you want to install X on your
system.
