Best is: You dont run anything that is not needed. If you run only a single application, your system is not worth the time it takes to hack it :)
For the benefit of people reading the archives in search of clue: There's a smiley on that, because Peter knows full well that the single biggest security problem on the Internet is boxes that are running one application, or end-user boxes, that aren't run in a secure manner because there's nothing of interest on the box. If the box has an IP address, and an Internet connection, it's *always* of interest, if only as a zombie or a steppingstone box to launder a connection.
