About a month ago when installing a new system, I tried installing the Gnome that comes with Woody (I've been using Helix Gnome on other systems). I saw some strange behavior, but perhaps it was because I didn't have a lot of suggested packages installed at the time. And, although a trivial thing, the login pics were much better looking in the Helix packages. Anyway, I thought maybe I should go back to the Debian packages as I assume they conform more to Debian standards. My question is to those that have used both, will I be missing anything if I go back to the Debian packages? Are they as stable? Is there any strange behavior? Do they contain as many programs as are available in the Helix packages? What are the pros and cons of each?
Thanks, Gerry
