Hi Rocky, while is is great to use a window manager/gui desktop, you should really learn to use the full power of Gnu/Linux under the traditional console. You may not always have a X windows on a system due to confiurations problems, ocassional sys admin mistakes, upgrade problems and other issues. Thus, start by learning to browse the web with tools such as: w3m, lynx, links, links2 and wget. If you can get a framebuffer setup then use can use cool tools like links2, fbxine, & fbi to display graphics and video with out X windows installed. This is time well spent. > This is very important as lots of webpages > will give me how-to instructions. Do I use apt-get xxxxx? Or something > else? Debian has all of its documentation in /usr/share/doc/ and in its man pages. These are great to get familar with. You can also install 'apt-get install apt-howto' to get more info on apt-get. > 2.

I regularly start at the console and use 'alt-right arrow' and 'alt-left arrow' to switch between the basic 6 console windows, no need to go to the desktop. But you can install a desktop with: apt-get install x-window-system gnome gdm or apt-get install x-window-system kde kdm and there are other choises. > 3.
