Hi, I use testing and hence Gnome1. Some day I'd like to try out Gnome2, but I am a bit reluctant to switch to unstable, as I have work to do, and need a usable desktop.
Are there any chances that gnome2 will make it into testing within, say, a few months? Will I be better of reverting to stable and use the backport than 'risk' an upgrade to unstable? Is gnome2 worth the hassle? I have my apt-preferences set up to allow installs from unstable, but I am a bit reluctant to do so, since it includes a new libc. If I upgrade that, I can just as well move to sid, right? The changes in an upgrade seem a bit intimidating: root@segesta 5003 # apt-get -t unstable install gnome Reading Package Lists...
