Fedora Core 3 seems to have a lot of services running in the default configuration. Which of these are safe to deactivate? I've got FC3 set up on an old PII 400 with very little memory, so I'd like to eliminate whatever's not necessary.
Specifically, it safe to disable the following: readahead sendmail xinetd cpuspeed nfs_lock rpc*
This box wont be using NFS at all, and I can't see any reason why sendmail
should be running on anything other than a dedicated mailserver. xinetd similarly seems useless on a desktop computer.
This might be a little extreme, but here are all the services I have running, For a simple desktop you don't need much. No sendmail and I don't run cron either. I'm still trying to figure out how to dump xfs.
hpoj syslog network cups xfs iptables haldaemon messagebus
John, I'm pretty sure that one only needs hpoj if one has an HP multifunction Scanner/printer/fax/copier device connected to the system and wants to have access to more than just printing capabilities of the unit.
You're absolutely correct. I probably should have removed hpoj from the list to avoid confusion. Sorry.
