   You have got a GUI, just have got no Desktop (you do'nt need another one, do    
   you?).   
      
   First of all, you should fire up the Synaptic GUI installer.   
      
   I have first loaded al the Xfce apps that just make life more easy and    
   enables to customize easily the taskbar.   
   I have installed Mousepad and the Thunar fiel manager.   
   Then the apps I wanted finally to use (a newsreader, other Webbrowsers...)   
      
   I did everything without one single command line.   
      
   If you are not cosy with Xfce and Synaptic you could possibly play a bit    
   with Xubuntu live CD. You have everything installed from scratch and it    
   feels better at the first glance, but of course you cant use ift from XP.   
      
   Enjoy.
