I needed to do some file sharing recently and now that the task is finished so I want to remove the Samba service. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10.
in Synaptic > search: samba shows that the following items are installed; samba samba-common samba-common-bin smbclient libpam-smbpass libsmbclient libwbclient0 nautilus-share python-smbc When I mark "samba" for removal no other files on this list are marked. So is just marking "samba" for removal sufficient to stop this service from starting at boot... and I don't want to keep files that only rely on samba alone as they'll be superfluous. But when I select "samba-common" to be removed, Synaptic notifies me of a list of other files that it will also remove with "samba-common" - one of them being "ubuntu-desktop". I'm not so sure that I want ubuntu-desktop removed! advice/suggestions/help are welcome :) thanks...
