@Dragonmouth,

Thank you for your feedback. I have now included instructions for disabling and removing unnecessary services on non-systemd distributions as well.

The article now covers both systemd and non-systemd systems, ensuring a comprehensive guide for various Linux environments.

Please let me know if you have any further suggestions or questions!

Please change your title to show the actual scope of the article – “In this article, we will discuss how to disable and remove unwanted services and packages on RHEL-based distributions”

And this article does not address how to stop unnecessary services on non-systemd distros which also part of Linux.

If you are running a server, removing Avahi daemon is a good security practice. Using ntp instead of crony is a personal choice, anyway if you just want to sync time with upstream ntp servers you can use ntpdate command from crontab.

IS there something that I should keep an eye on just in case? Why are you using ntp instead of chrony?
