This might be true, but is it safe? I mean I realize I'm a newbie when

disable any one of them...you might stand the risk of making your system
un-useable!? just wondering is all...

The trick is to find out what each service does before you mask it and make sure you don't need it. If you follow that link I gave you, you'll find that the author explains exactly what each service he's disabling does and why he doesn't need it.
OK after reading up a bit more on this I've decided to NOT touch any of the services on this machine. After all it's my "main" machine and I can't afford to risk having anything happen to it. BUT I DO have a "CEntOS" box that I will try thous out on....and if it works as "advertised" I will THEN attempt to do it on this computer. Although I must say, my Fedora laptop is running with a Dual-Core processor and 3GB total of memory, so it's not that bad....the other laptop lon the other hand is running on an OLD Dell Inspirion from Lord Knows when!....so THAT one will be the guinea pig!
