I'm planning to turn my old PowerPC G4 into a wordpress website. I'd like to use the server edition of ubuntu 10.04, install a GUI (to set up wordpress) then uninstall the gui.
Would I be able to do that?
You can install the GUI you want on the server edition by typing:
sudo apt-get install [xk]ubuntu-desktop,
where ubuntu installs Gnome,
kubuntu installs KDE and xubuntu installs XFCE.
You can later uninstall it with:
sudo apt-get remove/purge [xk]ubuntu-desktop
Personally though, i think that what you're trying to do doesn't need all that fuss.
You should just practice a bit with shell editors like vi/vim or nano.
Alternatively, you could try to work remotely on the machine and make all the necessary configuration.
