This is a method to using your Ubuntu 12.04 server without the Unity desktop on a very fast remote desktop program. This is by far the best method to managing your Ubuntu server if you like GUI.

apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
#apt-get --yes purge unity unity-2d unity-2d-places unity-2d-panel unity-2d-spread 
#apt-get --yes purge unity-asset-pool unity-services unity-lens-* unity-scope-*
#apt-get --yes purge liboverlay-scrollbar*
#apt-get --yes purge appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-qt
#apt-get --yes purge firefox-globalmenu thunderbird-globalmenu
#apt-get --yes purge unity-2d-common unity-common
#apt-get --yes purge libunity-misc4 libunity-core-5*
