And why some things seem to be included in what gets started up that I don't see any need for -- things like exim, bluetooth stuff (there is _no_ bluetooth hardware on this machine), and some other stuff. Any recommendations as to where I might poke at this to clean things up would be appreciated also.

To you.
The primary method of telling you, the systems administrator,
