I helped a Mark with this very problem at the last installfest. His box was
just a workstation so we upgraded him to unstable and installed KDE for him with
that. If Mark is listening ... hows it working for you?
I think the important thing is to _prevent_ it from doing the uninstall in the
first place. Perhaps apt-get should print in RED the things its going to
install or something ... its an easy thing to mistakenly do ... just typing away
and accpeting unfortunate changes.
As far as installing gnome ... first install synaptic and then use synatpic to
pick a bunch of gnome related things ... you will eventually get enough to run
it ... try gnome-core or gnome-common .... or gnome-base ... I forget :)
Actually for gnome I suggest you do unstable as well ... Gnome 2.4 is quite nice.
Oh, I would only do unstable if its a workstation. If its a server ... you
don't need X even :)
