Gnome 3 on Natty or other versions install

[zzzz401]

in terminal type these commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
Afterward go into your login screen and there should be a box saying Ubuntu scroll down on it and pick Gnome.
(NOTE do not have system programs or apps running it will cause install to fail.)

I tried this out works perfectly.

Didn't work for me - ended up with an odd flickering screen under GNOME3...

It worked, but it messes up GDM's theming, as well as the Gnome Shell theme...

sudo apt-get remove gnome-accessibility-themes
sudo apt-get install gnome-themes-standard

Reboot and that should fix that issue.
