*not* exagerating. Please look at the
attached screenshot for detail:<br>

1. I think eggcups is the process for printing. Why it takes up more
than 40mb memory? On <font color="#ff0000">Windows </font>2000, the
spooler printing service takes up only a little more than 4mb memory
and less than 3mb virtual memory.<br>
<br>
2. And, eggcups belongs to my session. I am not familiar with the
terminal concept. I guess if a user logs on thru a dumb terminal,
he/she will get his/her own eggcups; and 40mb memory will reduced from
the server. Is my guess true?<br>
<br>
3. If I 'kill nnn', where nnn is the pid of eggcups, it somehow
respawns. How can I stop this? Anyway I don't want printing service
right now, I am just learning programming on Linux.<br>
<br>
4. I don't want xscreensaver, because I am running FC3 inside Microsoft
Virtual PC. How to stop it?<br>
<br>
5. What is gnome-vfs/esd? Are they a must to for a user session?<br>
<br>
Please forgive me if my post aroused some kind of holy debate. I come
from Windows world, it's inevitable for me to compare Linux/FC with
Windows. But I will appreciate very much if someone can help me,
instead of just saying 'Only newbies don't understand' or even 'Only
morons don't understand'.<br>

1. eggcups is this <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://freshmeat.net/projects/eggcups/">http://freshmeat.net/projects/eggcups/</a><br>
2. already answered.<br>
3. It has a keep alive.<br>
4. Simply go into its configuration and select blank screen or disable
(apps-->prefs-->screensaver)<br>
5. Those are two totally different things: gnome-vfs is the gnome
virtual filsesystem, so you can access FTP, SSH, SMB, etc volumes with
it... ESD is the Enlightened Sound Daemon... Back in the days where
sound cards did not do HW mixing a software mixer was needed, and this
was the inherited sound server for the GNOME Dekstop.<br>
<br>
I won't point out anything with the incident about Trolling... I to
some extent understand your surprise... However I can understand the
reaction from many of the regulars upon the "FC3 sucks" part... I think
this thread will serve us all to remember that violence only produces
more violence, and that statement was a violent one. I won't go further
into this... Pretty much everyone who was willing to has expressed
thier minds, and this issue should be put behind us all.<br>
<br>
My 2 ¢. Peace.<br>
