Bug Description
I need a laptop with the minimal set of softwares installed but I don't want a netbook.
I saw that the rsync server was installed by default and it has be below drawbacks:
- it is slowing down the boot process or the use during the first minutes (in case of delayed/parallel launch)
- it increases the used memory
- it increases the suspend to disk time and resume since more memory needs to be saved/restored
I think rsync should be marked as a recommended dependency but not a required dependency.
If you activate too much services by default, you will get an OS like Microsoft Vista.

Moreover, each unused service is possibly a useless security hole.
