that means we would have to find a maintainer who is willing. experimental isnt all to difficult. just be sure not to do: # apt-get upgrade -t experimental upgrade as that might mess your system up. you can do: $ grep-dctrl -s Package -F Depends libgtk2.0-0 [experimental Packages file] to find all gtk2/gnome2 packages in experimental, then install those doing: # apt-get -t experimental install [package-foo] or do as colin suggests: $ apt-get -t experimental install gnome > > If Debian users feel like testing it, GARNOME is very well supported on > > Debian [ mostly because, um, I only use Debian... ;-) ]. > > And i suppose there is an apt-getable repository of it somewhere ? no. garnome is a build system for gnome. you can find more info at http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/garnome/. -- gram
