Hello Carlos,
I posed myself the same question, not only regarding the packages, but also regarding the actual kernel.

This is how I helped myself practically:

  1. I installed the snapshot of 28th of May.
  2. I installed kde 3.5 as preferred surface.
  3. I consequently eliminated every unusual gnome stuff.
  4. I performed an upgrade to Debian Sid.
  5. I performed an upgrade to KDE 3.5.7.
  6. I performed an upgrade to Openoffice 2.2.
  7. I performed an upgrade to koffice 1.6.3.
  8. I compiled a vanilla 2.6.21.5 kernel from kernel.org.

My personal remarks on that:

  1. I am still very happy that I ever decided to get completely rid of Bill Gates's Windoze crap.
  2. I think that there should be TWO Debian trees in the future instead of three: stable and unstable instead of stable, testing and unstable: i. e. the two trees called testing and unstable should merge into one - both completely downloadable (the latter is the new decision).
  3. Regarding kernel 2.6.21.5 Linus Torvalds, Andrew Morton and all world-wide Linux developers DID DO a definitely good job, whereas 2.6.20 and 2.6.19 were nothing but unusable quick-shot crap that nobody appreciates nor likes.
  4. I am very happy with my current solution.

Yours Sincerely

A still very happy Debian user called Uwe from Germany

P. S.: If you do not run an AMD K7 machine with a SCSI controller installed you can even avoid using Debian minimum netinst CD images and better take Sidux which is the most excellent Live-CD derivate that I ever met in my life.
