Hi,
I'm a new debian system admin for a start-up company. I was familiar
with Windows and Sun environment but Debian doesn't have GUI
interface? It's good for administration point of view. Then, I don't
need to go through the command line interface. Is there any way to
install GUI interface on my debian. It's running like a mailserver.
You really probably don't want a GUI on a server; adds complexity and
security issues that aren't needed on a server.
However, assuming you want your server to be more like a user's
desktop-style machine anyway, just:
apt-get install x-window-system
This should get you a basic GUI system up and working.
