The time has come for a new computer; the old one has

KDE3/4,Gnome and LXDE on it. I want to start with a fresh install of Debian
(unstable = wheezy) + Trinity on AMD64.
What is the current recommendation for
1) the Trinity repositories
2) How to install Debian without automatically getting Gnome?

If you want to use Wheezy I think it is best to use TDE3.5.14, which is nightly
builds as of now. I have a test situation setup with Wheezy & the TDE 3.5.14
nightlies, it is working okay. I won't upgrade my workstation until both are
official releases though. Squeeze and Slávek Banko'w 3.5.13.1 is working great
for my use.
I install Debian using the auto install mode. When the task select screen comes up
I un-check the desktop meta package. This give me a base install + the standard
packages....no X or DE stuff. I then add Trinity to my sources.list, I don't run
with a backup DE installed.
I add apps which depending on which tool-kit was used to buld them , I get
additional libraries, etc .from GTK or Gnome, or ?
