No, for security reason; you should run only ssh (it's really enough)!

I will advice, on reverve-proxy mode for Apache then you can have
different VM with specials packages for a groupware system or an ERP.

> vm2 - database server
256 Mb minimum

> vm3 - samba server
256 Mb minimum

> vm4 - network server - firewall, dns, dhcp
64 Mb enough

> vm5 - desktop
forget it!

> vm6 - windows server - future release
256 Mb minimum

For a server, I advice 1 Gb minimum per CPU.
For Virtualization, 4 Gb per CPU.

good luck,
