when it comes to security, it's what you should *not* install and what you
should uninstall...I'd suggest disabling all the services you don't need,
and following a good mailing list (bugtraq comes to mind) to keep an eye
on the services you do need. Check out their archives too (I seem to
remember them being searchable) if you question the security of one of
your needed services... I'm sure, also, that someone else here will come
through with some good links :)
