It will boot but you will have to change the desktop environment from the log in screen.

The downside is you will have 2 application sets

I recommend this method

1 Download Ubuntu Gnome Remix HERE

2 install to USB/CD

3 Boot USB/CD

4 Choose instll ubuntu

5 IMPORTANT Choose the option Upgrade Ubuntu 14.04 to Gnome remix (or something simmeler, upgrade is the important word)

6 install

This will change your Unity version for the Gnome version while saving your home folder

Documentation is HERE
