I haven't yet moved to 12.04, I've been doing some experimenting with Mint +
Mate. I quite like Mate, so my question is: is Mate in the 12.04 repos?
I.e., is it easy to install and use Mate with Ubuntu 12.04?

There are no official packages in the default Ubuntu repos, but you can add them.

Adding it to the main repositories (and the mirrors) would be very
important for some users. I work at a government lab with ridiculous
firewall policies, so that I can't even reach the main ubuntu
repositories-- I use the argonne mirror, which is open to government
sites. Many of the programmers have tried unity and decided against it.
If mate is stable, then it could be a very nice, painless alternative.

I've been running Mate on 11.10 since before Xmas. Coming up on 7
months. There's still a few niggly things around the edges (graphics
mainly) but it is definitely stable and just about perfectly recreates
the Gnome2 experience on 12.04 and Mint. Call it almost painless to get
going. It's on other platforms too though I haven't tried any of them
myself. If you've got a second box or a laptop that you're willing to
experiment with I think you'll find Mate works great. Just add a couple
of lines for the repos to your sources, update, install, reboot, tweak
as desired.

OK. Thanks for the reassurances. I'll give it a go. I liked Mate, but
I'm not keen on the Mint policy of re-installing for each new version.
I've been happy with Ubuntu since about ver 4, so Ubuntu+Mate looks to be a
good alternative to Unity.

I'll definitely give it a try on the oneiric netbook.

You'll want to keep an eye on this ubuntuforums thread:

If someone opens "need packaging" bug about this, send link and I will
