Re(3): Don't fork Linux because of Linus

There of course will be the impression of 'useless' services being started if the user is not given the option to select them during installation. Examples:
1. cupsys
2. hplib
3. bluetooth

But these are not 'useless' services for everyone, just me. Others may find other services to be useless(apport, hotkey-setup). These may affect the boot-up time but I suspect if they hinder the overall performance in a significant way. It's also just a few clicks away from being disabled anyway.

By the way, I don't think there is anything to worry about Linux being forked, what's the fuss all about?
