I can speak for myself as an "more than average desktop user" who uses Fedora as his PRIMARY desktop at home and also at work. source for information about Fedora services: http://delicious.com/valentt/services btw is there Fedora Wiki page explaining services? I would like to see the following services should be disabled by default: anacron 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off atd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off I don't need schedulers, it some critical part of Fedora doesn't need I don't see the need for it on a desktop system. Others that need it also know where to find it and enable it. avahi-daemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off I don't need it. bluetooth 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off Depending on the laptop - it it has no bluetooth it should be disabled, right? Ok, that will come in Fedora 11 as I have read with upstart not running in compatible mode. crond 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off I don't need it. fedora-late-live 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off fedora-live 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off Why are these service active on an installed system?
