GNOME is separate. Installing sawfish-gnome installs sawfish built for GNOME (so the configuration program works with the gnome configuration tool and that sort of thing). > What are the difference between Testing and Unstable? unstable is where the development happens. And it breaks, sometimes. Packages move (automatically) into testing after a couple of weeks, provided certain criteria are met (to do with not having bugs outstanding against them, mostly). So testing is a safer version of unstable, since obviously broken packages don't get put in testing (that's the theory, anyway---it doesn't work perfectly). > Should I upgrade to testing/unstable first, or install sawfish first > (will sawfish upgrade together with the rest of my system)? It's up to you which you do first, and yes, "apt-get dist-upgrade" or "apt-get upgrade" will upgrade all packages that are installed if newer versions exist in the sources you specify in /etc/apt/sources.list. (The normal way of keeping a system up to date is to run "apt-get update" every now and again followed by "apt-get upgrade" or "apt-get dist-upgrade".)
