Hi there,
         There certainly are debs on Helix's web site, works fine on
potato, there supposedly for woody. You will get one unresolved
dependancy, just sort this via 'apt-get install' from the woody archive. I
believe it's guile6? And, yes I think it's worth the upgrade! I had one
problem with gdm but you can just do a 'update-rc.d -f gdm remove' to fix
this! Anyway I prefer to start X from a command prompt so's I can specify
the colour depth.
