Hi, Jason.
Perhaps the easiest and most painless way of doing an upgrade yourself with
out depending on your Linux of choice having packages is to get the garnome
build script.
Garnome will download all the source packages for gnome 2.6, and depending
on your configuration compile a stand alone gnome  somewhere on your system.
For example some common install paths are /opt/gnome, home/garnome,
/opt/garnome, and home/gnome.
Once compiled you can set some export paths to use garnome rather than using
the default gnome installed on your system.
Note, you should have a cable modem or dsl in order to get a quick
installation. Otherwise, a modem install will take all day.
