A good place for you to check would be the Debian Installation Guide (I'm
making the assumption of i386 architecture).
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch06s03.html.en#di-install-software
Section 6.3.5.2. Selecting and Installing Software would probably be of
special interest to you. You will probably want to choose the Desktop
environment task to get a GUI. There are three versions of CD1, the
first one that people often download would install Gnome, there is also
one for the KDE or Xfce Desktop Environment.
As others have noted, there will be more Debian expertise at the Debian
user mailing list. However I think I've pointed you in the right
direction, Debian is not as easy to install and configure as Ubuntu, at
least, in the sense of automagic.
