I am running the latest version of helix-gnome on Debian 2.2. It works great!

This is how you get it:

1.  Use the editor of your choice to add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
"deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main"

2.  As root, update your packages using "apt-get update"

3.  As root, install Helix GNOME using "apt-get install task-helix-gnome"

Wait a few minutes, depending on your modem speed, then sit back and enjoy!

HTH
