Running system-config-services from a terminal window will show you what services you have set to run at whatever runlevel you're currently using, along with a short description of what those services do. By the way, if you're using the "free" command to look at the amount of memory free, look at the second line of output to see how much memory you actually still have available. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Charles Taylor <tomalek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * Chemistry instructor / Mad scientist / Linux enthusiast! -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Web: http://home.mindspring.com/~charletiv/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
