Bret,

I run debian on sid. I have Gnome 2 working but my main desktop is KDE.
Gnome 2 seems fine and I would be happy to use it (if KDE did not
exist). 

Although I love using sid and having the latest of everything; there
might be a backport of gnome 2 available for woody ?!

I dont remember too many issues getting things going.
