Gnome Shell vs Gnome Desktop Environment
I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04, after having been on 10.04 for a long time. I don't care for the Unity desktop and intend to install Gnome.
I have several questions regarding the new setup:
(1) What application do I use under 12.04 to install software? Apt? Synaptic? Do I obtain these apps from Ubuntu Software Center? From the libraries as under 10.04?
(2) I am used to Gnome under 10.04. I would like to continue using it under 12.04. What is the difference between Gnome Shell and the Gnome Desktop Environment?
Thanks for any assistance.

Synaptic is a great tool even if with the software center installed and I recommend it. The gnome-session-fallback is much more like gnome 2 in 10.04.
