If you just finished installing debian, you're going to need to update your sources.list file among other things. By default debian only uses it's STABLE package repository which stays quite a ways behind technology. They do that because these packages are known to be good. The way to get ahold of cutting edge packages is to use unstable (which you should use with caution becasue so of these packages in this repository may have bugs or other problems). The best thing for you to do if you want 'the latest greatest' packages is to search for some howto's on apt. One catch I'll warn you about before you modify your sources.list, is that your cache size for apt, be sure to google on that too. I've run into all these problems and more and found that googling the issue, a few helpful pointers from friends, and at the very end of my rope, asking a mailing list has helped me solve most of my problems. Always remember to google for the answer first. You'll be suprised what you find sometimes.
