Ubuntu server minimal desktop
Hi. I have been running Ubuntu 10.04 for some time and I'm looking to upgrade the hardware on my server. I would like to also take this time to upgrade my Ubuntu version as well. Currently I'm running on a very minimal GUI desktop environment which allows me to remote connect through NXNomachine or connect a monitor if I need. I'm interested in the same configuration on my new hardware, but don't want to have to deal with Unity. Two questions. It looks like 12.04 is the next LTS version available to me. Can I install a minimal Gnome desktop on this version without Unity? Can I install a Gnome desktop and then remove Unity? What other options are do I have? TIA
