Okay, just installed arch 2012.11.1 and looking the cli. How do I get a desktop to load? I remember something about using: start x but that did not work. Using Dell 1545, 4gb ram, 7gb hd. No problems with the install, other than, no bcm4312 firmware. Somehow I will try to get that installed too. Tried to use Debian but no wireless there either. Just trying to get something different to improve over Ubuntu 12.04.
STUCK

Start <-x
startx 1 word

Hi,

the arch wiki is a great place. Did you have a look at:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Installation

Regarding your wireless not working with Debian: I think the following may be what you need http://wiki.debian.org/wl

Distros like Arch and Debian don't spoon feed you: most likely you'll need to do some reading to get the most out of them.

Cheers,
