A tip to Debian users, don't install Ximian.  It may be the latest and
greatest, but only by a hair (IMHO).  Debian "unstable" stays pretty
close to being update with Gnome development, and most of these packages
work their way into "testing" before too long.  I find it very valuable
to keep the cruft off my system by running testing for most things, and
manually installing the bleeding edge software by hand if I must (and I
have had to on occassion).

The long and short of it is this, the Ximian people aren't really
dedicated to being Debian Policy compliant on how packages are named,
how they're maintained, and how they're installed.  It caused me no end
of headaches when I ran it, and the only way out is to remove all
gnome-ximian related packages and install the Debian "proper"
equivalents.

As far as RedHat and Red Carpet users, you're on your own.  Good luck!
;-)
