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.
