How do I remove all desktop-related packages, leaving server only? [duplicate]
I've got a VPS server, on which I surprisingly find packages like bluez or thunderbird-gnome-support or firefox or libqt4.
Do I have to list all the packages like in "How to delete all desktop environments except Unity?"?
Solution 1:
To remove x11 and everything that uses it:
apt-get purge libx11.* libqt.*
Solution 2:
You can use Tasksel It is a a tool that install/removes packages as per the type of system you require.
