[LBo] Removing unneeded processes (Re: QnA Digest, Vol 11, Issue 7)

[Sam Morgan]

just my opinion
but I think you may be trying to outsmart yourself all for little or nothing 
gained. let it be as is, you are not going to eliminate much that I saw and 
there are way to many things there that are interdependent. This is linux, not 
windows, most of what it's running it is useful to have run. I'm sure the gurus 
on the list will find one or two things that you may get away with eliminating 
but I fear the gains will be insignificant.

You do know that linux runs most of it's available ram, most all the time, don't 
you? It's just the more efficient thing to do as opposed to windows tendency to 
shuffle things in and and out of swap. Hard drives mechanics aren't as fast as 
the speed of the electrons in ram memory.

I've tried a bunch of distros and had miserable results so far.
The boxes are AMD K6 - 2+/270MHz with 256 Megs of ram.
