A good sysadmin audits a system and turns on what they need, > and turns off what they don't. What Ryan Coleman said about the space is a factor. I'm not the greatest sysadmin so from my perspective adding a known set of things makes more sense than subtracting a changing set of things. With Fedora it looks like it would be subtracting dozens of services. (I only know what a few of those are and am not that interested in figuring out what the others are. Probably professional sysadmins know what every process does, but I don't so I have to do some research to figure out what is and isn't needed.) > I doubt you will find any distro that has exactly the services running in > default mode that you specifically want. OK, but I've not checked out other possibilities recently so think it makes sense to do so. Brian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
