<br><br>IMHO, you can turn off the following:<br><br>anacron (if your backend is continuously on)<br>apmd<br>atd<br>avahi-daemon (if you're not sharing resources with a Mac)<br>gpm (if you're not using the mouse when backend is in text mode)
<br>iptables (if your backend doesn't have a inbound connection from the Internet)<br>irqbalance (if you have a single-core CPU)<br>kudzu (if you don't change hardware. If you do, you can run kudzu<br>manually after a "single" boot)
<br>lm_sensors (if you're not actually using the motherboard sensors)<br>mcstrans<br>mdmonitor (if you're not running software RAID)<br>nfs (if you're not sharing files via NFS)<br>nfslock (same)<br>rpcgssd (same)
<br>rpcidmapd (same)<br>portmap (if you're not sharing OR receiving files via NFS)<br>restorecond (if selinux is disabled)<br>smb (if your backend isn't sharing files or printers, or providing<br>Windows domain services (like user names and passwords)
