I can point apt-get to a repository for Fedora Core 2 Test 2 RPM's, and
I'm wondering if its possible to upgrade to Gnome 2.6 (er 2.5 actually)
without having to upgrade my entire system? Synaptic doesn't complain,
although it wants to upgrade a whole bunch of other stuff as well. I
guess that is to be expected.

Anyone try this yet? Upgrade Gnome from the Fedora Core 2 RPM's?

Is there a better way, besides Garnome, of going to Gnome 2.6 today?
