Interesting, I've got 12 machine across the country running with a
minimal installation (They run dhcpd, ntp, tftp, and perl scripts in
cron)

I have a mail server that started with a minimal install, but exim was
added, as was spamassassin, and clamscan.

I guess I always start with minimal installation, and only add the
functions I need the box to run.
