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.

Webmin is also a great way to administer your Ubuntu box. Once you have Apache up and running install Webmin.

Can't recall how I did it though.Try Googling Webmin.
