ParanoiaUser,
Thieves always love open doors open windows and open roof. in servers if you install many applications/service it will also OPENS a lots of PORTS(which hackers love). although your server is secure in terms of patches, security tweaks, best security practice, the open ports / application /service will give way to hackers messing your server.
close the services you dont need and only open the thing you need.
