Ok lets go one step further, if you select 'I want to run a mailserver' the
reply would be 'which one do you want to run?'. There could be a
default/recommended selection for those who don't have a preference. 

It seems a tree dialog could be really cool, instead of having to browse the
entire tree (7.0's expert is overwhelming and time consuming) you'd only be
shown those branches you are interested in.
