The question says it all really. I had a problem with the 8.04 alternative install .iso (which after some research is a well known bug) so I had to install the full desktop version. I know I can switch off the GUI functionality and prevent it loading at start up, but is it safe to remove all GUI components, and if so how do I do it? If I am able to do this will the resulting system be stable??

should work. But be careful that nothing is removed that you might still need.
