Making Ubuntu 11.10 like the classic Ubuntu desktop without downgrading or installing gnome-shell

In "Falling Back in Love With Ubuntu", Robbie and Hillary show you how to make your Ubuntu 11.10 install feel more like the classic Gnome 2 interface, with a few subtle differences.

You'll learn to fallback Ubuntu to the classic Gnome desktop (complete with Applications menu and panels), to setup the original "Orange" Human theme, move the close/minimize/maximize buttons to the right, and set everything up the way you want it: without Unity or gnome-shell!

Far easier to just get Linux Mint, I gave up linux after the ubuntu 11 release, and went back to xp, then upgraded to win7, thats how much I didnt like ubuntu, despite using it dedicatedly for 1.5 years before this.

I read in a magazine that Linux Mint is like the 10. version of ubuntu, and thought lets try it. Really I became an instant fan, it is what Ubuntu used to be before it got changed into an ipad! I still wont even try ubuntu, sooooooo frutrsating. Cheers , love this channel.

great video had not re-installed Ubuntu since having to re-do my computer due to a viral attack and my computer crashing. I do not like the Unity interface. I wanted my old desktop back. Before I had switched to Debian. Thanks to your video now I got all the perks of Ubuntu and my old applications menu. Thanks a bunch. A new fan.

yup, xubuntu-desktop with xfce or lubuntu-desktop with LXDE are better versions of ubuntu these days that gnome 3 or unity thing is getting anyoing every minute. i recommend open the terminal or that software centre in ubuntu 11.10 and replace unity with lubuntu-desktop or xubuntu, lubuntu is easy to use and excellent replacement of the gnome 3 or unity desktop.

Linux mint is also a excelent replacement of ubuntu.
