I've installedDebian 6.0(squeeze) on my dell inspiron 6000. All I have to
show for it is a shell. I've looked all over and read countless entries on
ways to load a gnome desktop, but nothing I try works for me like it has
others. Im brand spanking new to Linux, but im beginning to at least
understand how things need to be typed in order to make the magic happen,
but it hasn't happened for me yet. I think I may have installed a server
version, but there is a way around that right? What can I do to get a
desktop environment installed through my command line?

As root:
apt-get install gnome
