    disable unneeded services to speed up Mint

    I've got Mint installed on a pretty average Dell server. Just added another 512mb of RAM and I was wondering if there are any ways to speed things up even more.

    Maybe disable some unneeded processes or something. Or disable programs that start on boot?

    Thanks...

    Lets check startup processes. Execute this
    Code:
    ls /etc/rc2.d
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Stop these services :

    S20cups - Printer
    S20rsync -- synchronizes files
    S20samba -- share Windows machines.
    S10xserver-xorg-input-wacom -- for Wacom tablet devices
    S20apport -- prepare crash reports
    S99laptop-mode -- laptop power saving package


    Consider stopping these too (check documentations first) :
    S89anacron
    S10acpid
    S99acpi-support
    S89atd
    S20apmd
