To my intention the main reason is only to install software on a
server which is absolutely necessary to run the server and the
needed systems.

The less software you have installed on a server the less potential
memory leaks and security holes you will find on it.

If you want to give your colleagues access to the system you may
use Webmin and let them administer some selected things over the
webbrowser.

bis dahin - kind regards
