Hello Angus, if you wonder what is running on your system and what it does, check out http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Security-Quickstart-HOWTO/appendix.html which describes ports and services.
And of course: http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/admin/print/service.html which show and explains all the things that chkconfig --list shows you.
