it can be, but it depends on many other things, like how you have 
partitioned your drive.  it can break working things.

again depends.  what are your partitions like?

errr, that rather sounds like x, but without a windows manager choosen.  how 
are you starting x?  do you have kdm or gdm installed and have you tried 
those?

"Gartner recommends that enterprises... immediately investigate alternatives 
to [Microsoft] IIS, including moving Web applications to Web server 
software from other vendors, such as iPlanet and Apache... [which] have 
much better security records than IIS... Gartner remains concerned that 
viruses and worms will continue to attack IIS until Microsoft has released 
a completely rewritten, thoroughly and publicly tested, new release of 
IIS."   -- John Pescatore, Information Security Strategies, Gartner Group,
