Disabling Unused Services


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi Guy,

I have just installed Linux Mint on my PC and I would like to know what services should I stop. I am only using the workstation for general office work so nothing fancy.

Cheers

Saying "using the workstation for General Office Work" doesn't convey much.

A Linux "workstation" will have different set of 'services' enabled than that of a Linux "server", since they're serving two different tasks.

Is the Linux Mint machine connected to a network, does it share files with other machines, print or communicate with any other equipment on the network, is it used to connect to the Internet?

Even so, a Mint machine should be pretty safe as it is. You are using passwords on all your root and user logins, right?
