No, you can get GNOME installed in Debian. It seems you are installing
potato, which comes with GNOME 1.0.56 or something like that. Back
then you could get an up to date GNOME from Ximian, but there's no
need to.
I would recommend the following: install a minimal potato system and
upgrading it to woody (testing). See the woody installation manual on
the Debian web site for details. Once you are up to Woody install
GNOME via tasksel (or select the packages you want in dselect or
whatever).
Alternatively, get rid of everything Ximian related. Upgrade to Woody
and then install the gnome packages with dselect. There's no need to
use Ximian GNOME IMHO.
I would normally have suggested that you install Woody, but there is a
problem with base-config in the current testing distribution.
Cheers!
