It lists the services not marked in the registry to be invisible, system processes. That's my issue here. A VANILLA windows boxes has so much crap running, that if you do shut it ALL down, the system is unusable. Don't get me wrong, a Fedora box has a lot of that stuff running by default, too, but ps ( or chkconfig --list ) ( OR lsof -i ) will show you ALL [1] the processes running, and there's not too much you NEED to have a usable system. ( e.g.: automounting, hald ) ) [1] given the box isn't rooted and the binaries aren't lying to you. I still say, Windows PC's are best thought of as disposable terminals for endusers. Make 'em store everything on the server, and just swap them out when they cause grief. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Hardhats-members mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hardhats-members
