Considering that unstable didn't bust out into the flurry of activity it normally does right after the last stable release, and a new testing branch nearly immediately forked, I'd shave about a year off that time estimate. Realise, however, that this is only based off my previous experiance watching unstable fork and hand down to stable, as I don't follow debian-devel. If you want a good idea of what the current situation is, go lurk on debian-devel, note however that this mailing list is not targeted for the average user, so if you want to post, be a read-only user for at least six, preferrably eight weeks to get up to speed instead of pestering the developers immediately on something currently being discussed. > there may be 3rd party packages for gnome2 available for woody, > I'm not sure. *shrug* http://www.apt-get.org/ has unofficial (ie, totally no gaurantees of it working, even with Debian) sources. It's handy for scouting out packages that cannot be obtained in the official version. With everything being said, I hope sid gets KDE3 soon, or I fear sarge will be stuck with KDE2 when it freezes. -- .''`.
