does Trisquel have a gnome-shell edition?

I'm thinking of trying gnome-shell on my computer. Do you think the specs are sufficient? It's a 2.2 ghz Intel Pentium dual core with 2mb cache. I think that it has a Intel 4000 series (?) graphics card. It has 4 gb of RAM, I think. Traditional harddrive ... probably 7200 RPM but could be 5400 RPM. I bought it in 2013.
I found some topics on adding the gnome-shell session to older verions of Trisquel. Would those instructions still work? For those with experience doing this; any observations/comments on switching to gnome-shell? Eg: will I end up with multiple programs that serve the same purpose?

You can get GNOME Shell from Trisquel's default environment by installing the gnome-session and gnome-shell packages. Choose the "GNOME" session when you log in, instead of the "Trisquel" session.
For a better experience, you might also want to install and switch to GDM; GNOME's "lock screen" option integrates with that.
Thanks onpon. Are these commands for the terminal correct?:
sudo apt-get install gnome-session
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-packages
sudo apt-get install gdm
How do I switch to GDM once it's installed?
Get rid of "packages" from that second one, and you're golden.
I don't know what the actual command is that configures what display manager you use, but it gets run automatically when you install GDM.
You can also group those like sudo apt-get install a b c
run: sudo apt-get install gnome gnome-shell gnome-session
Then log out, and rather than logging in with Trisquel session, Use GNOME session instead.
