2.4 is in Sarge as well, but is currently pretty broken (i.e. `gnome-core` is still version 1.4). It's possible to install it piecemeal, however. I went from a slim Woody install to Sid just yesterday via `apt-get -u dist-upgrade` without any problems. From there just do `apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment` to get a good initial Gnome desktop. You can also do `apt-get install gnome`, which includes some other apps like Evolution, RhythmBox, etc. You can check status of Gnome at the DebianWiki also, although no one else seems to contribute to it so I can't guarantee its accuracy! http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianGnome -- M.
