Well, you don't have to remove the (Gnome) desktop, there's an option to just not install it. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall for details. I believe that if you use Ubuntu alternate CD instead of mini.iso there's still an option to install a minimal system.
One difference (not so big IMHO) between Lubuntu CD install and minimal install is eth0 not being nm-managed after a minimal install. Maybe there is something else, not sure. Regards!
