I was using gnome 2 in ubuntu 11.04 because you could ignore unity at bootup
and change it. They took that away on 11.10. You have to install gnome shell
to get the gnome option and that of course is gnome 3. If there was a way to
boot in 11.10 to gnome 2 I couldn't find it. I'm getting used to gnome 3
except they hide preferences and it is very hard to customize by comparison
to gnome 2.
