I downloaded the Gnome Shell but I cannot get it to run. I am a newbee to Ubuntu and seriously dislike Unity. I want to run Gnome, as this looks like a desktop/GUI I would be comfortable with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I am currently running 11.10.

What method did you use to download and install it? What do you mean but can't get it to run; Can you see it as a option on the login screen but not get it to start or is it not there at all?– TrailRiderJun 18, 2012 at 1:32

You just need to:
- Log off.
- Click the Ubuntu icon beside your name.
- Click GNOME.
- Log in as normal. Welcome to GNOME!
Hope that helps!
Bring up a terminal (press control alt and t to do this) and type
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
Log out and click the little symbol where you type your password. Choose gnome classic and log back in. When you do this the trash can will be gone so get a terminal up and type
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop trash-icon-visible true
Open terminal and execute the following
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
You should have an active internet connection
