I would get a copy of the current Stable 2.2r4 Cds..just the first one will do, and a set of CDs for the current Woody or Testing branch. Then install a minimal base install, upgrade it from testing, and then add what you want. KDE 2.2 is in testing as is Gnome 1.4. Borrowing a little from the Unstable branch will get you Mozilla 9.4 and Recent AbiWord versions as well. There are vendors who will burn up to the minute Cds of both Testing and Unstable. Check the vendor list on the Debian website. I am having great luck with a mix of Testing and Unstable branches, but for servers I only use Stable. Debian has a reputation of being very stable and rather stale. However, the by using testing on the desktop, you usually are ahead of commercial distos.
