As I remember, there is software components selection during Debian net install. I recomend you select lxde desktop during installation. If you are installed system without X and now you need it, do: apt-get install task-lxde-desktop ( for complete desktop environment ) or apt-get install lxde ( for less complete ) lxde is best for slow machines.
