If you want to start xorg from the command line, execute 'startx'.  You 
can select your default window manager/desktop environment by 
configuring ~/.xinitrc.  To start KDE, put 'exec startkde' in your 
~/.xinitrc file.  Execute 'man startx' for more information.

If you want the computer to boot to a GUI, you'll have to configure xdm, 
kdm or gdm.  You can find more information about these in the handbook:

Best of luck,
