Why would we need to keep xinetd?

Thanks!

Hello,

I think, it’s not a good idea to disable xinetd…

But the rest ist really not needed on Vmware host.

it's not a thorough list, but this helped me some to explain the services: Understanding your (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) daemons hope it helps, Greg

Good idea, I’ll see if Anton can get us an update.

Thanks for this reference.

Would be good to have a note on what each of the services do so that people don’t just blindly turn them off.

Hello Carlos, I would take a look at HowtoForge and the CentOS forums.

I found that using the server cd instead of the standard CDs reduces the install size.

Also, this site may be worth checking out.

They include a kickstart file with the bare minimum packages.
