If you installed it with the GUI's then when you come up to the login you should log in and be taken into the GUI environment. But, try this.
Come to the login screen and press alt-s to select the interface you prefer, depending on weather you installed it with gnome or KDE or both.

gnome-session
GNOME-SESSION(1) General Commands Manual GNOME-SESSION(1)
NAME
gnome-session - Starts up the GNOME desktop environment
SYNOPSIS
gnome-session [--autostart=DIR] [--default-session-key=KEY] [--failsafe|-f] [--debug]
DESCRIPTION
The gnome-session program starts up the GNOME desktop environment. This command is typically executed by your login manager (either gdm,
xdm, or from your X startup scripts). It will load either your saved session, or it will provide a default session for the user as defined
by the system administrator (or the default GNOME installation on your system).
The default session is defined in the GConf keys under /desktop/gnome/session. When saving a session, gnome-session saves the currently
running applications in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnome-session/saved-session directory.
gnome-session is an X11R6 session manager. It can manage GNOME applications as well as any X11R6 SM compliant.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--autostart=DIR
Start all applications defined in DIR, instead of starting the applications defined in /desktop/gnome/session/default_session, or
via the --default-session-key option. Multiple --autostart options can be passed.
--default-session-key=KEY
Sets the GConf key from which applications running a default session should be read to KEY. If not specificed, /desktop/gnome/ses-
sion/default_session will be used.
--failsafe
gnome-session will run in fail-safe mode. User-specified applications will not be started.
--debug
Enable debugging code.
ENVIRONMENT
gnome-session accepts all of the standard environment variables used by gnome programs, other than the SESSION_MANAGER environment vari-
able. gnome-session also sets several environment variables for the use of its child processes.
SESSION_MANAGER
This variable is used by session-manager aware clients to contact gnome-session.
DISPLAY
This variable is set to the X display being used by gnome-session. Note that if the --display option is used this might be different
from the setting of the environment variable when gnome-session is invoked.
