Who knows how long it will still be available, but if you launch Ubuntu
Software Center and install the GNOME Desktop Environment package (or
apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment) you will get GNOME and GNOME
Classic options in the "gear" menu on the login screen. GNOME is
GNOME3/Mutter/GNOME Shell and GNOME Classic (I believe) is
GNOME3/Metacity/Gnome Panel (Metacity/Gnome Panel being the GNOME2 'user
experience') as opposed to the GNOME3/Compiz/Unity you get in the
"ubuntu-desktop"
