Sorry, I am going on hearsay. It should be there already. If it is not there, let me know.

While logging in at the gdm screen, you should be able to press Alt +
Control + Tabb to get to the panel.  Somewhere on this panel there is a
drop down list of choices for the desktop; Unity 3d, and gnome clasic (I
think that is what they call gnome 2.xx).  I am a little hazy on this
because speech does not currently work for me on this screen.  If
anybody knows why, let me know.

        Hi All.
        
        At work we use a couple of Ubuntu machines which I use with
ORCA. We're currently on the 8.04 baseline but they are being upgraded
to 11.04.
        As I understand it this release includes the new unity desktop
by default but you can use the older style Gnome desktop. Does anyone
know if this is write and how you go about it?
        
        Thanks.
        Nick.
