You could try the following in Terminal.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server

---

The packages that you want to install is the LAMP package. You could then remove the Gnome desktop package if you want.

then run

sudo apt-get remove gnome-desktop

OK - this is a bit of an old thread, but I found a (hopefully) nicer way of getting rid of GUI programs.

From the command line, use sudo aptitude.

Inside aptitude you can select Gnome or KDE files, audio, video etc - use the _ character to mark them to be purged, then hit g to update the packages. Hopefully most of the rubbish should be removed using this method. Worked for me =)
