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.).
