In the past I installed the whole OS and disabled the services I
didn't want to run. But this has some major disadvantages. You will install all
the security holes the unused software has and it's a lot of work to
disable all theses services. So now I only install the software I will
use on a certain machine, keeping the OS small amd clean.
