:mrgreen: That's funny, fuscia, I always figured you as the kind of person who would yank out dbus, hald, avahi and all those daemons. I guess I'm alone on that. ;)

i guess if i knew wtf all those things were, i might be more inclined to pull their cards from the deck.

avahi (http://avahi.org/)
Avahi is a system which facilitates service discovery on a local network. This means that you can plug your laptop or computer into a network and instantly be able to view other people who you can chat with, find printers to print to or find files being shared. This kind of technology is already found in Apple MacOS X (branded Rendezvous, Bonjour and sometimes Zeroconf) and is very convenient. Avahi is mainly based on Lennart Poettering's flexmdns mDNS implementation for Linux which has been discontinued in favour of Avahi

acre? we rent by the foot here, son.


thanks for the info, SD. so far, i've figured out i shouldn't uninstall any of those things when i go on one of my rage driven purges, is that fair to say?

oh How many feet does one have to rent out. I need more than Two maybe double or double of double that would most likely help.. :D

If you use them you should keep them, but that goes without saying, now doesn't it? ;)

Here's me, on a lean, mean Arch installation.

Can I add that this thing runs like a jackrabbit on fire? 1Ghz and Grub-to-desktop in 27 seconds. :twisted:

Mine's also Arch (64), though I'm obviously lazier than you. Daemons such as fam & hal save me quite a few keystrokes. At least background loading keeps the boot time down ;)
