    Installing a GUI...

    I've done it before, but I don't remember how I did it. I've been looking for all sorts of tutorials and things, and nothing is working.

    I have a fresh debian install; just the basics. So, what would I need to do to, say, install xfce or gnome (core only), step by step?

    Code:
    apt-get install xfce4
    should do it.
