Hi list,

I am running AMD Duron 750 MHz, 128 RAM with SuSE 10.0. Normally it is 
on acceptable speed, but sometimes (especially when running OpenOffice 
before extremly important presentations) it is quite slow. So what I 
want is to turn off the services which I definetely do not need. As I am 
not much experienced to know what I definetely do not need, I ask for 
your help ;)

First, I do not need any network(at this time) and I haven't got printer 
and scanner, so can I turn off from the chkconfig the following services?:

cups (for the printer)
mdnsd
postfix
sshd

This is what I feel may be turned off, maybe I missed something...(I can 
post my chkconfig output, if you need)

Besides, do I need six mingettys, can I turn them off from /etc/inittab 
and leave only one?

Also there is so much files in my /dev, but I haven't got so many 
devices, does it eats resources?

I just didn't wanted to make a long post, but can provide any info you 
need (processes, chkconfig etc.).

Thank you much,
