Can anyone provide a valid link or website to download a minimal version of Ubuntu?

The only supported Ubuntu "Minimal" install is an option on the normal installer. It takes slightly longer than a normal install.

There are several other ways that folks roll their own Minimal installs. These are not recommended for beginners, and problems with those highly-customized systems are rarely solved here.

Debian, our good friend, DOES have a real and supported Minimally-sized installer (netinst) that you can build up a Minimal system from. Netinst is great in a VM for folks who want to learn, test, and play with respins. Of course, problems with Debian systems are off-topic here.

  • Generally, A VM is recommended over trying netinst on bare metal. Minimal systems tend to encounter problems (often missing packages) that get them wiped and reinstalled.

For Advanced Ubuntu Users who like a Minimal challenge, Ubuntu Base is waiting for you. As Advanced users, you don't need instructions here. You know where to find the docs.
