I want to know what to put in the terminal to install Unity DE on Ubuntu 11.10 minimal. For example.Sudo apt-get install (whatever goes here) Including the dependencies.

This will give you a more "minimal" install. apt-get default behaviour is to install all recommended packages.

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop

I'm aware it is 1.5 years later, but thank you so much for this command, I was googling quite a bit for this. Weeeh. – henry Jan 17 '14 at 10:36

It will only install the desktop environment? It won't install unnecessary programs? – rockr101 Mar 2 '12 at 19:53

Define "unnecessary" See also help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems – Panther Mar 2 '12 at 22:00
