I guess that depends on your definition of non-essential... The first
thing I do is turn off cups and pcmcia. These are not essential for
what I do.
I know I can look up what each service is... that will get me a textbook
definition. What I want to know is the relationship between different
services and what are the benefits/consequences of turning on/off a
particular service. For instance.. what the do rpcgssd, rpcsvcgssd, and
rpcidmapd do?? Why are they turned on by default by Fedora, and what'll
happen if I turn them off?
