This is one of the bigest problems I have with most distros.

Cups is only required for printing and should not be installed as standard on anything other than a desktop install, so I'd remove it. There may be the odd instance where someone might want to "print" to pdf or something which may be possible but 99.99% of servers will not use cups.

There's also no need for X, bluetooth and half the other stuff that these distros seem to think is required for a server.

If your server is print server, the answer is yes

otherwise, no
