I think it would be easier if you tried a LiveCD: http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/ For what is worth, I find myself more productive and much more at ease with GNOME 3 than with GNOME 2 (or any other desktop, for that matter). Every desktop/laptop computer I put my hands on, the first thing I try to do is to press the windows key to get the overview; it's really disappointing when it doesn't work and I realize I'm not using GNOME 3. I suggest to try the LiveCD; Walt seems to hate the shell and I love it, but that's because is a matter of personal opinion. I hate KDE (all four versions); that doesn't mean it's bad software, or that it has the wrong design. It's just not for me. Try it for a couple of weeks, and then decide if you want to try it; we on the list can help you to get the keyworded version installed.
