I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS desktop version, I would like to use Ubuntu 14.04 Server.

Is it possible to migrate (change) from Ubuntu desktop to Ubuntu server without losing data from my system?

Open your terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install tasksel

Then type sudo tasksel in terminal

enter image description here

It will open in terminal with options & there you can choose Ubuntu Server with space-bar and then continue. It will download and install Ubuntu Server tools.

Hope that helps.
