That surprises me.  The Gnome is already 2.4.2 stable, why is Debian lagging
in adopting a newer version of Gnome.  If I were to install Debian 3.0_r2,
what would I have to get the benefits of the latest version of Gnome?  Do I
have to install a lot of packages or apt-get can take care of the entire
Gnome suite?  Sorry if my questions sound dumb.

Thanks again
