    There is a Ubuntu Gnome Remix for 11.10 but if you upgrade to it you
    will be stuck there and any further upgrades will require a new
    install. this also is a Gnome3 remix BTW.<br>

      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.<br>
