you need this in your /etc/apt/sources.list:


deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian woody main



then do:

1. apt-get update
2. apt-get install task-helix-gnome
3. make coffee
4. sit back and watch


doing this in console is better since you need to restart your X when it's
done.
