Be extremely careful with that type of installation, since you will end up
with all sorts of daemons running in the background. Even if you have
plenty of hard drive space, it may not be safe to do that kind of
installation. Believe, it happened to me and I ended up having a cracker
get into the box due to a security hole in one of the many daemons I had
running.
