Well, I have been an avid user of the previous GNOME 2.3 desktop. I was satisfied with it. I thought what else could fit into this environment, but it turns out that GNOME 3.0 has taken over this hysteria in me. GNOME 3.0 is cool! GNOME 3.0 is written from scratch, unlike previous versions.(They were just improvised versions of their previous counterparts.) GNOME 3.0 is fast,robust and reliable. Switch between windows, workspace management (switch through different workspaces faster). A single click will either create or delete a workspace. Overall, I am satisfied with the performance.
Well, let's install GNOME 3.0. First launch the terminal, login as a "root" user. Now, type in the commands one after the other :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
Restart your machine, and select GNOME 3.0 at the login prompt.
In case you did not like GNOME 3.0, all you need to do is to launch terminal, login as "root"
user, and type in:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3,
And restart your computer!!
That's it, you are good to install/uninstall GNOME 3.0! Enjoy.
