I use woody.  It's quite recent (gnome 1.4) and quite stable.  Install
base potato system as usual.  Then edit /etc/apt/sources.list and
change "stable" to "testing" in all lines except the security line.
Then run "apt-get update".  This will make your list of available
packages match what woody has.  Then run "apt-get dist-upgrade" to
upgrade the base system to woody.  Then run "apt-get install
<package_names>" to install all the packages you want to have.  It's
as simple as that :-).  If you have any difficulty, let us know and
we'll help you out.
