I'm configuring my own server, running Ubuntu 13.04. I'd like to speed up the OS a bit more by removing ‘unnecessary’ system services. Here is what I did:
Install and start rcconf
to check what services are enabled on boot:
$ sudo apt-get install rcconf
$ sudo rcconf
Uncheck some services like brltty
, speed-dispatcher
, saned
, rsync
.
I'm still not sure about some services like apparmor, grub-common, kerneloops, ondemand and pppd-dns. Is it safe to disable them? Do I need to uninstall those services or is disabling them is enough?
