Add Gnome Shell to Ubuntu 11.10

At first I found it difficult to adjust into the new system. But, now my mind is changing… Unity is getting very stable and it does have a lot of good features. But the biggest problem is that Gnome Shell and Unity both introduced Big new features all at ones! And Unity have a lot to improve, but I think you should give it a chance in 11.10.

So, here is how to install Gnome shell in Ubuntu 11.10 (and it will not mess up your installation and you can switch between Unity and Gnome Shell).

Open the terminal and enter the following command:

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

After next reboot, click on the little settings icon near the password field to change default desktop. Select “GNOME” from the list and login and enjoy your Gnome Shell!
