not much more than a google search would reveal, if you run natty you
can just apt-get install unity-2d and select it at login time ... 
there is a maverick PPA too ...

https://launchpad.net/unity-2d is the home of the project 

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/unity-2d-a-quick-look-at-the-latest-updates/ might probably shed some light ...

and here is a quote from http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/646

"Our desktop has come together beautifully, and in the next release
we’ll complete the cycle of making it available to all users, with a 2D
experience to complement the OpenGL based Unity for those with the
hardware to handle it."

so low end users are not left alone :)
