What are you looking at replacing 10.10 with? There is no Gnome 2 in
11.10 because it's all Gnome 3 based. Gnome 3 has a failback mode which
is sort-of like Gnome 2 but isn't really the same. 

The best bet if you don't want Gnome 3 or Unity and want something that
feels a lot like Gnome 2 is probably XFCE, but it does depend on what
you particularly like(d) about Gnome 2 and dislike about Gnome 3 and
Unity.
