They usually take a while to come out with the latest and greatest Mozilla
(I can't remember how long). 

If you want the latest and greatest in Debian packages, you will want to
point to the "unstable" distribution.  This, for the most part, actually works
pretty well.  Depending on your enthusiasm for upgrading, you may occasionally
come across a broken package.

Mozilla 1.3 just came out last week.  If you want that version (which you do
:-), you will probably (not sure, because I'm "between" DSL providers at the
moment) have to download it directly from mozilla.org.

Not sure about GNOME or Evolution.  VMWare should not really be a problem
(of course, I haven't really set this up successfully).
