I want to install Ubuntu on a small ARM-based device (TrimSlice) to control a bitcoin mining device, but I have no need for a GUI. I don't want Xorg, I don't want Unity, no Nouveau, none of that. I want the ability to install .deb packages using apt-get and I want Ubuntu because I'm familiar with it.
I already had Ubuntu 12.04 on this device previously, but upgrading Ubuntu caused the machine to fail to boot. I want to start over with whichever version makes sense, but mostly I just want only a command line.

Install the server edition, and don't choose to install a desktop environment.
