The goal is to remove processes so that the K6 - 2+/500 uses its power to
run only those things that middle school kids might need for school work
and some games, etc. However, since the machinews will one day be hooked
to a DSL line, leave those that are needed for that such as DHCP, the
firewall, ClamAV, etc.
The hard drives on these machines are 20 G so extra space consumed by
excessive programs should not be a real problem.
Thanks,
Allen
