I am running Red Hat 9 on a 300Mhz machine with a 8 gig hard drive and 320MB of RAM. It's used as a server for apache, php, mysql, and an email server. When I access my website locally through another computer, it takes a long time to load. I would like to turn off services that I do not need. Here is a list of the ones that are currently checked.
-atd
-crond
-cups ... I don't use a printer, can I turn this one off?
-httpd (need this)
-imap (need this)
-imaps (need this)
-isdn .... what is this?
-keytable
-kudzu
-mysqld (need this)
-network
-portmap ... do I need this?
-random .. what?
-rawdevices ....huh?
-sendmail (need this)
-servers
-spamassassin (need this)
-syslog
-webmin (need this)
-xinetd
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Edit: Also, is there a way to allow apache to have processes running all the time? That way when a page is requested the response is faster?
