I have installed ubuntu desktop 10.10 and lamp server and i am using it for past 6 months. and i never use that computer for anything else.. Now i feel like removing unwanted components like media programs, open office etc which is not needed for a server. but i would like to keep the GUI just as a option for ease of use.. will there be any problem if i remove those components. i dont want to install server edition from the beginning..

Ubuntu Server Edition is the same Ubuntu with different packages. I've installed Servers and installed the ubuntu-desktop package if I felt the need for a GUI on the system. I'm sure doing the reverse would work as well.

If you want a GUI but do not want the additional bloat that comes with Desktop edition, go ahead with it. Uninstalling Open Office, GIMP, Firefox etc should not cause any problems at all.
