One of the problems is that Orc is still new and went through quite a bit
of churn last year. There hasn't been an update in a while, so it looks

I put a link to the download page at:

I do this on my 10.10 machine.

Ubuntu 11.10 uses Orc 0.4.14. And you can remove/replace Unity and make it
use Gnome 2.
