Taking short note so I'll never forget this again ;)
apt-get install x11-common (if not already there)
apt-get install xfce4-session
apt-get install xfce4
...and naturally ;) apt-get install xdm
Should you need to set runlevel 3 by default (I wanted it), edit /etc/rc-default and replace lines running telinit 2 with telinit 3.
Reboot.

Short article about how to enable a Debian Etch (stable version at moment of writing) to have access in read/write to NTFS filesystems.
Since there is not package available in standard Etch repositories, packages needs to be retrieved and installed by "Etch Backports" repositories as follows:
wget http://www.backports.org/debian/pool/main/f/fuse/fuse-utils_2.7.1-2~bpo40+1_i386.deb
wget http://www.backports.org/debian/pool/main/f/fuse/libfuse2_2.7.1-2~bpo40+1_i386.deb
wget http://www.backports.org/debian/pool/main/n/ntfs-3g/libntfs-3g2_1.516-1~bpo.1_i386.deb
wget ...

It took to me quite a while before I found a good, well documented, idiot-proof guide to this... that's why I decided to save it in my own library.
All credits go to Dave Vehrs, and original article with all comments can be found here.

Excellent project, run by a Greek guy (very responsive in Project Forum) to build a no-graphic server quickly with live Cd.
Site is http://sms.it-ccs.com/ and server ISO (minimal, only 233 MB) is available here.
Perfect way to build up a Home Headless Server, since the bundled software includes all of ...
