Change your sources.list to testing, or > even unstable This measure is a bit drastic. Even on stable one can get a much more modern windowing environment than twm. Personally, after being on unstable for years, I moved back to stable + backports. Unstable, while being decently stable, imposed too much work on me for my tastes (i.e., debconf questions to answer, conffiles to change). For a decently new system without any hassle (but admittedly not bleeding edge), I recommend to rund woody and get relevant stuff from http://www.backports.org/ (backports.org will switch to provied backports for sarge once it's released) Gnome 2.2 I get from the evilgeniuses backport http://www.debianplanet.org/node.php?id=992 There probably is something similar for KDE too Everything else I want I usually find through http://www.apt-get.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
