I do... I have a lot of different machines, configurations etc...

To simplify a installation on all of these machines, I install it once on one
machine, with all the Xservers, and then copy the package selection to the
next machine and installs that...

Ok, this happens very seldom, I usually only do it once or twice every year,
but IF something happens to a machine, crash or the like, I just dd the
partition from a working one, and then dd it back to the crashed machine...

This happens every now and then, then it is good to have all the xservers
installed...
