What info exactly do you want? Based on your description, it sounds like
you would be most happy with Ubuntu long-term-support-release (i.e., V.
10.04) It will be supported for the longest amount of time of the current
available releases, and does not have any of the new "bells and whistles"
you seem to not want. Classic Gnome is it's default, same as Ubuntu 10.10.
At the moment, you can also still get the classic desktop in 11.04 by
logging out and selecting classic desktop or whatever at the log in screen.
