Can You Recommend Or Suggest Any Reputable Way Or Means To Get The Gnome 2 GUI Original Or Remake Interface To Replace The New Unity GUI Interface For My Linux Ubuntu V.11.10 64-Bit Operating System?
Hello. I have a question regarding my Linux Ubuntu v.11.10 64-bit operating system.
Is there a way or means to get the Gnome 2 GUI interface (original or remake version) developed from the Gnome 2 development platform to replace the new Unity GUI interface for my Linux Ubuntu v.11.10 64-bit operating system?
Criteria I am looking for:
1. I am looking for a means that renders the current Unity GUI into the old or remake Gnome 2 interface with much stability and little or preferably no issues.
2. Also the old or remake Gnome 2 interface that nearly perfectly resembles visual, functional, and features of the original Gnome 2 interface.
3. The old or remake Gnome 2 runs alongside disabled Unity and likewise conversely true when they both can be switched to the other GUI at will.
If you can recommend or suggest any reputable way or means to get the Gnome 2 GUI interface (original or remake version) developed from the Gnome 2 development platform back to replace the new Unity GUI interface for my Linux Ubuntu v.11.10 64-bit operating system; please provide the website. If the website lacks or fails to describe the installation process necessary to accomplish this – only providing by solution by name, please add that installation information like the installation steps and download links as well.
If you know more than one solution that you can recommend or suggest; please provide all webpages and tell me the one you recommend to a greater degree.
Please reply.
Thank you!

I am splitting the points here for this question/thread since your latest comment REALLY provides 'ME' the answer that I really need to do to answer this question/thread. Your first comment provides a general answer overview to my question/thread I posted that is also applicable and is equally significant to proceed to your latest comment.

Hello. Nice to see you again. Thank you for your comment.
I have a question to ask you from a statement you made in your last comment I need some clarity on and it might sound like a dumb question since I am a newbie...
... you said, "so if you want to use the 3.x kernels, you're either going to have to adapt to GNOME3, else switch to KDE, XFCE, or some other desktop like Unity."
So help me out here... ...do you mean that KDE and XFCE are another kind of GUI interface or shell like Unity... ...and it gets me thinking... ...that I could implement in Ubuntu... ...or are KDE and XFCE another whole other type of operating system like Ubuntu (part of the Unix/Linux distributions)? Please explain.
I have been doing some search and I am getting information about that fact that KDE and XFCE are different GUI, but yet it discusses them as 'distros' or distributions as well. I am not sure how KDE and XFCE truly are?
If KDE and XFCE 'IS' a GUI interface or shell, please explain how I can implement it into Ubuntu (if possible). Please explain the steps.
Please reply.
Thank you!
