it seems that you installed a minimal version of debian without graphical
environment. If you have a working internet connection it should be easy
to install the gui, though. You might try to login as root into your
terminal and then run the command

apt-get install xfce4

This should hopefully install a graphical environment with the xfce4
Desktop. If you don't like xfce you can easily install other
gui environments later and pick the one that fits your needs best.

Regards

Michael
