Convert Ubuntu 14.04.1 Desktop to Ubuntu 14.04.1 Server

Ready to take off the proverbial training wheels?


Okie dokie. Let's do this!

All we're going to do here is switch your Ubuntu Desktop to an Ubuntu Server by stripping off the graphical user interface (GUI) and operate in Terminal Mode.

Execute the following commands:
sudo apt-get install tasksel
sudo tasksel remove ubuntu-desktop
sudo tasksel install server
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-server linux-image-server
sudo apt-get purge lightdm

But, I'm sure you're going to be okay.
