Hi all. I'm not sure this it the right forum category, but
here goes.

I notice that there are some processes that automatically
run when my tablet (n810 as it happens) starts. One of
these is:

dnsmasq

Now, I thought dnsmasq was this:

So, why do I need it always running?

Another is:

mediaplayer-engine

Why is this running? Just to speed up media player startup,
or what.

I'd like to figure out what the minimal "services" needed for
the tablet are and how to configure it to run minimal (or
as minimal as possible).

Sorry for the rambling post ...
