Another desktop cannot be Gnome 2. Fedora ships only one version of
Gnome, Gnome 3. I would suggest you install KDE, XFCE, LXDE or
whatever suits your tastes. And simply choose the desktop environment
while logging in. That should set the default desktop for future
logins.

If you like using nice GUIs, I would suggest KDE. On the other hand if
you prefer something lightweight, try XFCE or LXDE.
