I'm running it on Woody...I don't recall installing it from Sid, but I 
might have.
It runs fine, as long as you don't use Xinerama (that seems to be a GNOME
issue rather than Evo itself - it also affects gdm).

Hmm, search of the Debian package listings only shows it in Sid...and I
think it's a minor release ahead of what I'm running - time to upgrade I
guess.

Like I said, it does work, though you'll probably have to pull a few libraries
from Sid too.
