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
Can be turned off.
postfix
Depends on your mail setup - can be turned off. But then you won't get root mails.
sshd
If nobody needs to access the machine remotely: Turn it off.
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?
Yes, they run on the console only, so if one is enough for you.
Also there is so much files in my /dev, but I haven't got so many devices, does it eats resources?
A little bit since /dev is on tmpfs (a ram disk). But we only create a minimal set, there's not much too delete and you need to do it at each boot.
