Classic GNOME is no longer available. It was used in Natty as a backup 
for Unity 3d if you did not have the resources to run it, but it was 
taken out in Oneiric, and replaced by Unity 2d. Installing the package 
GNOME Shell (sudo apt-get install gnome-shell) will install both GNOME 3 
Shell and GNOME 3 Classic, allowing you to choose between them (and of 
course, Unity also) at login. Thanks!
