Maybe this isn't the point in this thread...but it's nice to know what
you absolutely need so that you don't have other "junk" on the box.
Less to secure....less to update.  Fewer variables in general.  And then
you know that EVERYTHING on your box _IS_ a variable for *, rather than
wondering if you're going to break something with a security update or
if * doesn't use it at all.
