The advantage with go-gnome is only for _real_ newbies, who haven't 
yet learned how to use an editor, or don't know about sources.list.

go-gnome for Debian does effectively this:

grep helixcode.com /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
    echo "" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
    echo "deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian
unstable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
fi

apt-get update

Then one of these (selected by the user)

apt-get upgrade
apt-get install task-helix-core
apt-get install task-helix-gnome
