2.4 is in Sarge as well, but is currently pretty broken (i.e.
`gnome-core` is still version 1.4). It's possible to install it piecemeal,
however.
I went from a slim Woody install to Sid just yesterday via `apt-get -u
dist-upgrade` without any problems. From there just do `apt-get install
gnome-desktop-environment` to get a good initial Gnome desktop. You can
also do `apt-get install gnome`, which includes some other apps like
Evolution, RhythmBox, etc.
You can check status of Gnome at the DebianWiki also, although no one
else seems to contribute to it so I can't guarantee its accuracy!
