One particular, however: I would stay away from "Unity", and opt for

With "traditional" do you mean Gnome 2.x or the new Gnome 3.x +
Gnome-shell?
Just like Unity (which I have not tried yet) Gnome3/Gnome-shell can be
quite a shock if you are looking for a "traditional" desktop. I am
really happy with it now, but it did take some time to get used to.
There are other alternatives if you are looking for something more
"traditional". Linux = freedom of choice.
