I reply to the list as well for the archives sake, but I did not inclde the information about your system as I am not sure that that is something that you want public. Kinda reminds me of phpinfo();. Top was all forgien to me, other than the fact that I see that it serves basically the same purpose as the task manager in windows does. Acording to Free, I have about 8 megs free from a total of 483 (why does it not show all 512 that I am supossed to have?). I could not find an approximation of how much there is supposed to be in google, but I understand that there wont be much because of the way the kernel allocates it. Um, does 8 sound like a good amount to you? And now onto service --status-all. I include the parts of it that worry me for one reason or another. I am on a desktop system, and have never set up a file server, web server, mail server, or pizza server on the machine. I use KDE. Does there seem to be anything out of the ordinary? Like the fact that Chain * (policy ACCEPT) are all blank? Or that portmap, ssh and sendmail are running? Thanks so much for the help. I really do appreciate it.
