Hey there - thank you for looking at this post.
Been a long-time Debian fan, yet, Lenny has some "features" which made it disappointing even awhile after upgrading (expected them to have corrected certain "problems" by now - no offense Debian!)
That said, I had a system with 68 processes while on my desktop of XFCE4.4. Now that I'm running Xubuntu 9.04 - and not having the prior problems, I am disappointed that this so-called Xubuntu "light weight desktop" runs 106 procs. Trimmed things down a little bit - 96 procs - by unloading items using rcconf and removing ("A.K.A. "trimming") down the system software services. What I need to is to shell this OS out. leaving the following services availble:
apticron (if I un-install update programs it'll strip xfce4-desktop)
auto-mounting (and umount) of USB sticks, CD's and DVD's
sound system working - including with audio file for newly received email via TBird play back
On a side note: anyone know why gkrellm and conky report 150% more procs than top?
Again, I appreciate your time,
rippin'
