Mint has two versions, Ubuntu based and Debian based.
Actually there are more as well, but these are the two main ones.
I was thinking about it till they stated about not being able to keep
GNOME 2.x desktop for their distro.  I installed Mint 12 and
could not find how to get access to the menus of packages.  There
was no panel to get access to anything with.  So it was not working
on that old test system.

Well, when I tried 11.10 on a P4 server, it insisted on installing Unity
and would not allow me to change to any other desktop.

I assume that you do not have your system auto-login.  Last time I tried 
11.10, I had to go
through a login screen and it did not allow for a change of desktops.  I 
could not even get
to the system settings to deep enough to force the change.

So I wonder which GNOME option would be the same as the default one for 
10.04/GNOME?

Every system I have to try a new OS on is too slow to run Unity.  Maybe 
I will be able to
get one to work with 11.10.  Actually I had a 10.10 with GNOME and KDE 
installed, and
the update/upgrade to 11.04 decided that I did not want/need KDE and it 
un-installed all
of my needed KDE packages I use on a daily or weekly basis.

So you see why I did not want to deal with 11.04 or 11.10 for my default 
system.
