Here's a Script to easily install Cinnamon desktop onto an Ubuntu Minimal / Server system.
This will give you a lightweight fast booting system, without Unity or any other desktop.
On my system with an Ubuntu Server 13.10 base it was booting up in under 10 seconds, compare that to a 30 second bootup time with Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon.
The disadvantages are it could be missing some crucial packages for Printers and Wireless Network cards, and you'll have to install all applications you require, such as: Web Browser, Email client, Office Suite, etc...
If you have a Windows 8 System with UEFI Secure Boot BIOS Ubuntu Minimal will not work properly, you'll have to use Ubuntu Server instead.
For older UEFI Non-Secure Boot and Legacy BIOS based systems you can use either Ubuntu Server or Ubuntu Minimal.
Instructions:
wget quidsup.net/sh/cinnamon.sh
bash cinnamon.sh
sudo reboot
2:04 Running Script
4:25 Testing Cinnamon
