Hi all. Looking for some info about some processes I've got
running on my box. I'm new to 5.3 having used the 4x line for a long time
and I'm curious about my process list. When I do "ps -ax" I get the
following list as seen below. Are all of these items really needed and if
not, what items can I get rid of and how? The machine in question is a
very simple fetching mail server running on a 500mhz Via Eden Mini-ITX
board. Any insight would be welcome. I'm really only asking this because
I tend to be a process minimalist. IE I like to have as few processes
running as is absolutely necessary. Well, anyways, enough of my
babbling. Here's the list.
