    Do you know if the x-window system was installed during your installation?

    If it was you can try
    Code:
    startx
    If that doesn't work you can try installing X using
    Code:
    apt-get install x-window-system
    Here's another tip, it helps to name your topic with something more descriptive than 'HELP'!
