Can my pstree be any more simpler?
 
I feel, a lot of bloat exists. I use only XFCE, KDE not installed
Code:
root@KRISHNA:$ pstree
init-+-Terminal-+-bash---bash---pstree
    |          |-bash
    |          |-gnome-pty-helpe
    |          `-{Terminal}
    |-acpid
    |-5*[agetty]
    |-applet.py
    |-atd
    |-bash---startx---xinit-+-X
    |                      `-ck-launch-sessi---sh---xfce4-session-+-Thunar
    |                                                              |-xfce4-pan+
    |                                                              |-xfdesktop
    |                                                              |-xfwm4

Could you point out what you think is "bloat"?

Nothing looks unusual there to me. It actually looks about as minimal as an XFCE session could be!

Perhaps you should be running DOS. Then there would be only one process. :-)

pstree -aU will show all process in a nice looking tree with command line arguments.

If you really want to be frightened by all processes in memory type pstree -aUp.

That said it's your job, as administrator of your system, to decide which processes should run. For instance I use Fluxbox and have less processes running.

Another thing that you could check is the CPU and memory usage of these processes. If it stays low, there may be no reason to bother about their number.

If there was a version with support for modern hardware, a flat 64bit address space and a built in tcp/ip stack... I'd go back! :D

Yeah - the bootup times were phenomenal. And shutdown was just pulling the power. Ah - life was so much simpler then.

And not forgetting XTreeGold!

I had Norton Commander. Luckily we still have Midnight Commander. It's the only way I maintain my sanity.

Thanks to all

If an XFCE session can be only as simple as this, there is nothing I can do. I need XFCE now
