Ok I am very new to Linux, about 8 hours new. I got a old system of mine to run Debian (network install) no problems with that. I then installed Gnome (apt-get install gnome). It did its thing, took forever but it finished. So now the question is how to I start it? I typed "exec gnome-session" and all I get is Gtk-WARNING cannot open display. This does it if I'm in root or not. I'm so confused here. Gnome is a GUI right? Am I missing somthing? Thanks
