I am installing 8.10 server edition on my home file server. This server will have many functions, some of which require a GUI. I would like to use Gnome, but since this is a file server, It is my benefit to have as much free space as possible...
So my question is this:
How can in install *just* gnome and the file browser nautilus...? I don’t need open office, the games, widgets, and all the other crap that comes with the normal Gnome install. How can I best slim down ubuntu’s default gnome install? Is it better for me to use the default installer then cut things out, or should I use the server install then can I specify just the minimal packages that I need to install?
Thanks for any and all help you can give me!
