Upgrading 2.1 -> Potato
This is a wide open question and ideally I'd like to be pointed to a FAQ or
some other documentation.
Mainly I want to know the best way to upgrade from slink to potato. I'm
quite knowledgeable about Debian (I've been using slink for a loong time
now) but the last time I tried it, the new glibc2.1 broke just about
everything (including dpkg/gzip!). Is there a specific order in which I
should upgrade?
Would an apt-get upgrade to the unstable branch suffice?
Thanks!
R.

To get them both working, you need to make sure your ~/.xinitrc (or
.~/xsession if you're running xdm) has something like the following
#!/bin/bash
enlightenment &
exec gnome-session (or panel)
You may need to prelude both of those commands with the proper paths.
As for a menu in Enlightenment, either use your third mouse button or chord
your left and right ones to bring up E's menu.
Hope this helps,

Latest Versions of Gnome
...where are they? I haven't seen a new gnome .deb since 1.0.1.
More importantly, if I wanted to just download the tarballs and do the
install by hand, what's the best way to do it so that it conforms to what
the .debs have installed so far (i.e., matching paths, etc.). Has anyone
tried converting the latest rpms to debs with alien?
Thanks!

Actually, this is where I've had apt-get pointed to for some time. The only
things
that usually get updated are Enlightenment and it's themes. I've been
having
crashes with GMC and Gnome-panel (the former dumps if you close the browse
window directly after opening it and the latter likes to explode if you try
to use a .png as a background [and for that matter, *no* background seems to
work on it]).
This place still has 1.0.1 libs, etc.

I figured as much, which is why I asked... ;>
