Joseph's question is really important
not even for me, as for person, who just want to try to run
multi-purpose "home server". I think it is good idea for some
bigger Documentation and HowTo project, too.
Eugen's idea to have .ovf packages for different purposes is
relevant too.
Both ideas still need to be answered, and seems to me even
propagated, so let me add one more question: Is there some
Propaganda/Documentation Project/HowTo Wiki for this purpose?
One of interesting .ovf I have found is
Liberté Linux:
http://dee.su/liberte
[seems to be kind of out-dated]
One of interesting "multi purpose, out of the box, home server"
seems to be this:
Both projects seems to be worth to add human power to and more
propaganda.
Tails https://tails.boum.org/
seems to be paranoid enough to not to support .ovf, or em'I wrong?
BTW all of mentioned projects are good hint, what is trend on side
of services but list of services and tools is still more than
welcome.
Btw2: On this wiki, I'm tiring to complete list of user side apps
for different platforms, so it could be helpful too:

I think we need more hidden services to make the darknet more attractive,
less exits. The open Internet has been dead for a while, time to accept it.
Running a non-exit relay from home is still worthwhile, since it raises the
bar for physical access, and also increases the traffic background.
Decentral search is pretty important, we could really use lots of
YaCy nodes as hidden services -- indexing not just the hidden web, of
course.
I wish there was a library of different privacy-based appliances in
virtual formats (.ovf) which are kept up to date for easy deployment
(even though running it on bare iron would be preferable). That would
seem to be a lot of work, though, and run into trust issues.
