Anyone interested in a "GNOME 2 look and feel" remix?

[Ben Tinner]

Never mind about the question. I have found MATE in the Ubuntu repositories. I am now currently building a Ubuntu 13.10 image with MATE installed.

By the way why the packages for MATE(mate-common) is in universe and not in main?

I just want to ask... Is the inclusion of third party repositories allowed? I wanted to include the MATE official repository for the MATE packages.
