atd is not required. Period. It should be uninstalled (along with all
the other services that you stopped).

anacron is not required on long running servers.

rawdevices is quite application specific. Its main use is for databases
(oracle and such). It can be disabled too.

Hmm. I'd rather use software from my distributor's packages. It would
be optimised, would have gone through their QA process, would integrate
with the rest of the system better etc. :) I'd like to hear your thoughts
on this, of course.
