Michael is absolutetly right here. I'd also add one more thing. By
installing everything you expose yourself to a lot of security hazards.
It definitely is calling for trouble, and makes the administration of
the system perhaps more difficult at least as ar as the upgrades of
packages to close security holes is concerned.
