Install Mate 1.2 in Ubuntu 12.04

Even that is very nice for my Unity Shell is still very green to be as default desktop environment, Cinnamon had already spoken to a desktop environment is very promising even that not everyone is going great with myself included. We are so accustomed to using Gnome 2 desktop and classic, even Gnome Shell seems unproductive.
For Linux users this will not convince you finish them, we have another great performance desktops. The best known is KDE, Xfce, etc. The problem is that these are not just desks seem to classic Gnome desktop (the closest in this regard would Xfce), and we want the typical desktop "old" we have other options.
The resounding option is to install the MATE desktop. This desktop no longer a copy of the classic Gnome 2 desktop to which you have added some options for the KDE desktop. Call it a hybrid between GNOME 2 and KDE.
In it we find a bottom panel to KDE, but navigating the desktop is very similar to Gnome. A user who has always used Gnome, Kde using overwhelmed by the amount of different options out there to customize the Gnome desktop that we had. This does not happen in Mate. In Mate 1.2 will have a simple desktop with good performance.
