I am very much attached to gnome 2, but I would also like an option to log into a gnome 3 DE. What would make sense would be to apt-get install it, but I don't want it to delete gnome 2. Is there a way to ADD gnome 3 to Ubuntu 10.10 WITHOUT removing gnome 2? Thanks

I don't know if this even works anymore , so use at your own risk . The PPA may break Gnome 2.xx , so backup files before experimenting .http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/04/24/how-to-install-gnome-3-on-ubuntu-10-10-10-04/

Sorry, but the repositories didn't work. Maybe they're being updated atm?

The PPA is for Gnome 3 to be installed on top of Gnome 2.
Gnome 2 and Gnome 3 conflict with each other and you can only have one of them at a time. You can try Gnome 3 either with Virtual Box (hardware acceleration s iffy for Virtual Machines) or you can dual-boot with a Gnome 3 distro.
