Hi Erin,
I am a little confused about your question. Is it about needing to run
R from a terminal? Or is the question that your computer isn't booting
in to X but just a command prompt? If it's the former, R doesn't have a
GUI unless you install something like Rkward or you run R through emacs
(install ess as for this). There's other options as well. Also, I
don't believe that GNOME or KDE in debian will add an R menu entry,
perhaps the debian menu does? Anyways you can always launch R by typing
R in a terminal.
If this isn't your question and it's about not being able to load X
(perhaps just typing something like startx would work and examing your
log files) then that's a different question and I didn't really answer
it. If your window manager or desktop manager doesn't load then you
have some problem with X.
Cheers,
Chris
