In one word, no. I have installed RH7.3 completely and I use Red Carpet to keep all those packages up-to-date but there are a lot of packages of which I don't know if I really need them. I have tried to reduce the number of services I have running as much as possible but I'm afraid there will still be programs running that I don't really need. Any suggestions (other than rpm -e and hoping things won't break) on how to reduce the load of my system? I especially find Gnome quit heavy on system resources but I like it's interface better than KDE's so I'm still sticking with it. I am going to try and burn some CDs with cdrecord without the xcdroast GUI but it was already too late for that yesterday: the drive was already locked up. Good news though: I shut down my computer last night and this morning everything seems to be OK, the drive was recognised again the CD ejected without a problem. Unfortunately the disc is useless, but at least my system's OK again...
