I just loaded my first Linux machine. It laoded well and I am able to

As root,

apt-get install x-window-system kde kdm

I simply have to answer this.

The command line above is clearly not right, it should of course say:

apt-get install x-window-system gnome gdm

um, you're almost got it. really it should have been:

apt-get install emacs21

after all, once you're done loading the BIOS that is linux you do want a
*real* OS, don't you?

Uh, after that you'll still need an editor:

apt-get install vim
