Hi Rocky,
while is is great to use a window manager/gui desktop, you should really
learn to use the full power of Gnu/Linux under the traditional console.
You may not always have a X windows on a system due to confiurations
problems, ocassional sys admin mistakes, upgrade problems and other
issues. Thus, start by learning to browse the web with tools such as:
w3m, lynx, links, links2 and wget. If you can get a framebuffer setup
then use can use cool tools like links2, fbxine, & fbi to display
graphics and video with out X windows installed. This is time well
spent.

Debian has all of its documentation in /usr/share/doc/ and in
its man pages. These are great to get familar with. You can also
install 'apt-get install apt-howto' to get more info on apt-get.

I regularly start at the console and use 'alt-right arrow' and 'alt-left
arrow' to switch between the basic 6 console windows, no need to go to
the desktop. But you can install a desktop with:
apt-get install x-window-system gnome gdm
or
apt-get install x-window-system kde kdm
and there are other choises.

To find stuff use: apt-cache search KEYWORK
'apt-cache search typo' should help
