I was reading http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DefaultServices to see what was has been talked about on it about disabling different services and I have a couple of possible additions.
This is probably just a Hint for laptop users. On my laptop I use NetworkManager to handle the network connections. So I deactivated my eth0 and my wlan0 from starting when the computer boots. I had both so if I was docked it would get an IP or if I were wireless it would also work. But this slowed down my boot up a bunch.
From reading through Keith's comments it seems there is a handful of
services that would come in handy for a Laptop user, some for a Desktop user and others for a Server. I think it would be a good idea to create some default service profiles. Either just document them on the wiki or actually have some default profiles in the Service Configuration tool so a newer user can just apply a profile to their system without having to know what nifd is or what rpcgssd is.
Thanks
