Several of the BSDish distros achieve 30-50 as a minimal install.
e.g., on RHEL.

IMHO some thought should be given to the security of a new user who
may not be aware that it is best to harden a box behind a firewall
before presenting it to the Internet.

On some other packages, enough may be known by the install process to
know that they are not applicable.
