are all processes running in linux required
Hi,
I have installed Linux, mainly bcos of the fact that MS is slow!!!!! (and the environment too). I have installed Mandrake 9.2. I get a feel like the system is slow in response, especially menus and when i see the system monitor, it says cpu usage 10% on an average. I am pasting below the processes running n my PC. Pl let me know if all these processes are required and how can I tune up the system for performance? 1 ? 00:00:04 init 2 ? 00:00:00 keventd 3 ? 00:00:00 kapmd 4 ? 00:00:00 ksoftirqd_CPU0 5 ? 00:00:00 kswapd 6 ? 00:00:00 bdflush 7 ? 00:00:00 kupdated 8 ? 00:00:00 kinoded 9 ? 00:00:00 mdrecoveryd 10 ? 00:00:00 kswsuspd 14 ? 00:00:00 kjournald 123 ? 00:00:00 devfsd 208 ? 00:00:00 khubd 717 ? 00:00:00 ifplugd 787 ? 00:00:00 dhclient 831 ? 00:00:00 portmap 845 ? 00:00:00 syslogd 853 ? 00:00:00 klogd 886 ? 00:00:00 ypserv 983 ? 00:00:00 xfs 1021 ? 00:00:00 apmd 1039 ? 00:00:00 rpc.ypxfrd 1081 ? 00:00:00 atd 1091 ? 00:00:00 kdm 1103 ? 00:00:03 X 1104 ? 00:00:00 named 1107 ? 00:00:00 named 1109 ? 00:00:00 named 1110 ? 00:00:00 named 1115 ? 00:00:00 named 1126 ? 00:00:00 xinetd 1128 ? 00:00:00 kdm 1161 ? 00:00:00 cupsd 1304 ? 00:00:00 rpc.yppasswdd 1443 ? 00:00:00 crond 1453 ? 00:00:00 startkde 1680 ? 00:00:00 imwheel 1701 ? 00:00:01 httpd2 1708 ? 00:00:00 advxsplitlogfil 1711 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit 1714 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit 1718 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit 1719 ? 00:00:00 httpd2 1720 ? 00:00:00 httpd2 1721 ? 00:00:00 httpd2 1722 ? 00:00:00 httpd2 1723 ? 00:00:00 httpd2 1725 ? 00:00:01 kdeinit 1802 ? 00:00:00 fam 1812 vc/1 00:00:00 mingetty 1813 vc/2 00:00:00 mingetty 1814 vc/3 00:00:00 mingetty 1815 vc/4 00:00:00 mingetty 1816 vc/5 00:00:00 mingetty 1817 vc/6 00:00:00 mingetty 1923 ? 00:00:05 artsd 1926 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit 1928 ? 00:00:00 kwrapper 1930 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit 1931 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit 1954 ? 00:00:02 kdeinit 1963 ? 00:00:01 kdeinit 1964 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit 1966 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit 1985 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit 1988 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit 1989 ? 00:00:00 korgac 1998 ? 00:00:00 knotes 2013 ? 00:00:00 kalarmd 2089 ? 00:00:01 konsole 2091 pts/0 00:00:00 ps Regards, Shyam Sundar |
You can stop safely these:
dhclient --> DHCP client ? Not very neccesary unless on a network. portmap --> Not neccesary but for NFS network services ,..... ypserv --> Not very neccesary unless on a network. rpc.ypxfrd --> Not very neccesary unless on a network. atd --> Task planner. You'll learn it later. named --> DNS server. Too much .... rpc.yppasswdd --> Not very neccesary unless on a network. httpd2 --> Apache webserver. Also you can get into kde control center and stop some services under Components - Service Manager. |
Hey u beter install fedora on ur pc....
Its quite fast. I am going to install tomorrow |
Yes,I think Fedora would be a good choice too.Specifically the version that "CCRMA" at Stanford University has. You can download the ISO's fron their website. It's a modified version of Fedora in as much as it is used for music and video production tasks which require lower latencies and higher scheduling priorities,etc.. However, without all the tech speak the system as a whole is nice and snappy. All you need to do is look up "CCRMA" on the google search engine. The instructions are very detailed and most anybody should have no problem setting up the system.
