OK after reading up a bit more on this I've decided to NOT touch any of 
the services on this machine. After all it's my "main" machine and I 
can't afford to risk having anything happen to it. BUT I DO have a 
"CEntOS" box that I will try thous out on....and if it works as 
"advertised" I will THEN attempt to do it on this computer. Although I 
must say, my Fedora laptop is running with a Dual-Core processor and 3GB 
total of memory, so it's not that bad....the other laptop lon the other 
hand is running on an OLD Dell Inspirion from Lord Knows when!....so 
THAT one will be the guinea pig!
