Actually, Ubuntu was to have the option to continue to use GNOME instead 
of Unity GUI.  I have not "upgraded" to 11.04 since there seems to be a 
monitor issue with my flat screen.  So if you install 11.04, then make 
sure you "turn on" the option of using a different GUI, plus make sure 
GNOME is installed via the Package Manager, you should be able to choose 
which GUI you want to use during startup.  I did this with 10.xx when I 
was trying out the use of KDE instead of GNOME.  When I was at the login 
screen, I was given the option for which GUI I was to use for that 
session.  Actually, I found that I could use GNOME and use some of the 
KDE packages if both are installed.

To my opinion, what I have read, and seen the screen shots, I do not 
like the look and feel of Unity GUI.  SO when I get the monitor issue 
solved [different monitor maybe] I will go to 11.xx and make sure GNOME 
will be my default GUI.

As for PPA versions of LibreOffice, I would rather download the packages 
that are on the LibreOffice site and install them instead of using PPA 
versions.  It just makes sense to me that way.  If all else fails, then 
you will have to use Ubuntu's repository version.
