Hi Rick
  Trey cool look at linuxmafia gnome-apt!  As far as I know the front
end hasn't been decided, I just was wondering about the rumors.
  Speaking of GNOME though,  I already upgraded to potato and don't have
GNOME installed yet.  There is a page listed at debian.org:

http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/gnome

telling how to install with apt-get for slink.  With an address for
etc/apt/sources.list included:

deb http://www.debian.org/~jim/debian-gtk-gnome/gnome-stage-slink slink
main

  If I use the apt method in dselect are there other interesting GNOME
pkgs you could suggest to add?  I'm going with enlightenment as well.  I
think the basic packages in potato are:

gdm
gnome-core
gnome-panel

  Here are a list in the potato i386 directory:
