I am dwelling into Debian. Any way to get a good X Windows system with clustering up?

[Imaginer]

I used the net install and with that most of the defaut options but from there since I am new to the Linux scene I want some way of getting X Windows up and a way of eventually getting machines to cluster.

Can anyone provide some help on this topic? I hopefully want to learn more about the Debian distribution and how to use it well which is why I am not asking for Red Hat or Mandrake or any others.

Thanks!

Take a look at the Debian documentation on apt-get. That should help you install X. You can configure it with xf86config or xf86setup.

the package name you want is x-window-system-core. if you want xdm also, then install x-window-system instead. the 'debian way' to reconfigure any package is dpkg-reconfigure packagename. to reconfigure X it'd be dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86.

as far as how to install packages and all that, as much as i dont like saying it, RTFM. its such a basic and important part of debian that you really should read up on it, if you havent yet.
