When you were installing did you choose to install the X package? Last time I installed Debian I remembered that I had to go through and choose all the packages I needed.

You should be able to install it using apt after you log in.

I just installed Debian 3.1 Sarge on my hard drive.  It was a difficult install; it kept complaining about missing drivers.

When I finally booted it up all I got was a login prompt.  I logged in, but there was no desktop, no nothing.  The STARTX command did nothing.  It seems to be unable to access the Internet.

What do I do next?

I'm also looking at MEPIS (great look and feel), SuSE, and Ubuntu.
