So I have been around the block when it comes to Linux Distros. I have tried everything from Fedora, to Gentoo, to Ubuntu. I have been a pretty faithful Ubuntu user for a couple of years now, it is still what I run my servers on. But I HATE Unity, don't get my wrong, Unity is not horrible for everyone, just me. I was happy with Gnome2, but I just don't like the new DMs.

If there is then I am able to install a newer version of ubuntu.
