For non-desktop Ubuntu, install a "command-line only" system from the
Alternate Install CD, then install xorg, xdm, ratpoison, xscreensaver,
whatever fonts, and an x-terminal emulator.
My somewhat outdated (Ubuntu 9.04) guide to setting up a
ratpoison-emacs-centric Ubuntu system is here:

As Ross notes, this approach leaves one without a lot of things. I
like it that way.
