Hello There Jdls,
To get ximian-gnome on my system, I went to the ximian website. It then told me to enter a command that started with lynx -source <url>. That insterted a line in my apt/sources.list file. And then it ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, I believe. You can add the line to your sources.list file yourself if you'd like. It's deb http://spidermonkey.ximian.com/distributions/debian unstable main I also have deb http://spidermonkey.ximian.com/1.4beta1/distributions/debian unstable main in there which I got from http://www.internatif.org/bortzmeyer/debian/apt-sources/ If you want red-carpet you can browse ftp://spidermonkey.ximian.com/pub/ and go to the redcarpet section and download the .deb file and then try to install it. If you get any compaints.... like it needing libgnet0, then download the .deb of it, install it with dpkg --force-overwrite. This will overwrite some files that came with libgnet-dev. Then install the red-carpet .deb file. Then download the libgnet-dev .deb file. Install it with dpkg --force-overwrite. Then I think you'll be set. I truly hope that helps you get what you're looking for.
