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.
