Hi Rich,

Assuming you have installed the XFree86 distribution (the "gui interface"
of which you speak), and you have picked a good desktop manager (KDE is a
good choice for those coming from Windows), execute the command "startx"
as a regular user to bring up the KDE desktop.

If you DIDN'T install XFree86 or the KDE desktop manager, both can be
installed from the system installer.  If you need help installing and
setting up XFree86 or KDE, we can help you with that, too.

- Ryan
