Hi Kent,
Not knowing what your level of *nix knowledge is, it's hard to answer without being too terse or too simplistic.
I've been using Redhat for about a year now. I know it fairly well, but I have to admit I'm a bit "gui dependent".
You should be able to install tasksel, and then run it, and select "X window system" to get a basic system up and running.
I didn't see X window system, but I did see desktop system. I went ahead and installed it. Unfortunately, it installed kde and gnome with it. I didn't see an option to have it not do that. Anyway, after installing I type "startx" and get this error message:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xservrc: /usr/bin/X11/X: No such file or directory
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xservrc: exec: /usr/bin/X11/X: cannot execute: No such file or directory
I never have quite trusted tasksel . . . .
Okay, do this instead.
"apt-get install xbase-clients xserver-common xserver-xfree86 xfonts-base xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi xfonts-scalable" and that should get you a minimal X system going.
Then run "startx".
