It’s been a while since the GNOME’s been on town. It has some major changes from the gnome 2.6. Here’s a walk-though to install GNOME 3 on your linux box.

Add Repository, Update and Upgrade the system. Get the Gnome Shell

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3

sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

And after installing GNOME 3.0; here are few things to do before start tweaking GNOME

1. Remove Unity sudo apt-get remove unity

2. Remove Overlay ScrollBars sudo apt-get remove scroolbar

3. Install Gnome Tweak Tool sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
