Hi, IMHO the best option is by default to have the bare minimum of
services started after install - if people need a service they should have
to explictly turn it on. This means that you don't get a lot of newbies
running services they don't need or understand, consuming system resources
and weakening security. What might be nice is to build something like
Bastille into the install, so people are taken through and explained the
purposes of each service, and given the option to run it or not.
