I'm a newbie in debian. I'm currently using Sarge. When will I be able to install the new GNOME 2.4??

You can do it right now, you just have to do it in bits and pieces.
apt-cache search is your friend (look for the gnome2 packages).

Here's a list of some packages which I have installed on sarge.  The libs
will get picked up as dependencies:

gconf2                2.4.0.1-3  GNOME configuration database system. (daemon and tools, for GNOME2)
gdm                   2.4.1.7-1  GNOME Display Manager
gnome-control-center  2.4.0-4    The GNOME Control Center for GNOME 2
gnome-desktop-data    2.4.1-4    Common files for GNOME 2 desktop apps
gnome-gv              2.4.0.2-2  GNOME PostScript viewer
gnome-mime-data       2.4.1-1    base MIME and Application database for GNOME.
gnome-panel           2.4.1-6    Launch and/or dock GNOME 2 applications
gnome-panel-data      2.4.1-6    Common files for GNOME 2 panel
gnome-session         2.4.1-2    The GNOME 2 Session Manager
gnome-system-monitor  2.4.0-1    Process viewer and system resource monitor for GNOME 2
gnome-terminal        2.4.2-1    The GNOME 2 terminal emulator application
gnome-themes          2.4.1-2    GNOME 2 Desktop themes
gnome-themes-common   2.4.1-2    GNOME 2 Desktop themes - common files
gnome2-user-guide     2.4.1-1    GNOME 2 User's Guide
yelp                  2.4.1-2    Help browser for GNOME 2

I did what you said and now, when I start GNOME, it doesn't appear the desktop and when I click it appears a green menu, with Debian, Show Icon manager, Hide Icon Manager and Exit. How can I have the GNOME 2 working well??
