You can type "startx" in the console to start X Windows.

What do u mean by your computer got crushed....was there an elephant in your house?!?

Neways, the answer ujjwal gave is right...you can also type "init 5" in the boot options that GRUB presents you with (thats in case u r using GRUB and not LILO). init 5 is the boot-in-gui-mode, u can say.

Also, if you want to permanently switch to a graphical login screen, check the file /etc/inittab

You will probably find a line like -

Code:
id:3:initdefault:
change it to

Code:
id:5:initdefault:
Assuming that init level 5 is the graphical login mode for your system.

One query...

I have used the switchdesk command to change between the environments on RedHat using the CLI. Is this command exclusive to RedHat or does it work on all distros?

SwitchDesk is not there in Debian. It could be an unnecessary appendage.

If you want to login to multiple GUI terminals, (that is F7, F8, F9 ....)
then use gdmflexiserver command to start a new Login session. Your older GUI session (F7) gets locked by the screensaver and another login screen opens in F8. But this feature is available if you have GNOME installed.
