congratulations for making this far. The sky's the limit. If you want KDE check out this and this
Good luck.
edit: Be sure to read those how to's so you have an idea of what you want. Remember, Google is your friend as is the search function on the forums.

Well, emerge either a DE or WM. Most people usually emerge kde, gnome, or a *box to get things started. Then, add
if you emerged gnome
| Code: | | exec /usr/bin/startkde |
if you emerged KDE or
| Code: | | exec /usr/bin/fluxbox |
if you emerged a *box. Just replace Flux with Black, Open, or w/e.
Add those to your ~/.xinitrc and then type in as a user.
The DE/WM emerges take awhile so you might wanna just leave the comp running and let portage do its thing. Also, check out http://www.linuxcommand.org/ for some bash terminal commands that allow you to use your system without a GUI.

I would suggest that you start installing the split KDE builds, so just do
| Code: | | emerge kdebase-startkde |
to install the latest stable KDE build, 3.4.* something

Also, if you haven't done so already, create a daily user. You only want to do things as root IF it is absolutly neccessary. You can find the directions here
