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.
