Coming from a GUI enviroment...(Windows)...I feel that GUI is very
important. Most of the stuff I do depends on a GUI enviroment.  KDE is a
great enviroment for people migrating from Windows or something.  It takes
some work to set up, and if you are compiling it from the source...then
you will need alot of spare time (unless you're on a Pentium II 333 or
something). 

Anyways, I agree with you...more GUI setup help would be good.  I have
found that the easiest way to set up X is by using this program called
XF86Setup, because xf86config is just way too confusing.

Have fun.
