[indiana-discuss] unnessesary services?

I'm trying out OpenSolaris as a regular desktop OS, and it works fine, but it seems to be using a lot more memory than it probably ought to.  svcs shows a ton of services running by default, and I'm sure I don't need all of them for everyday desktop stuff, so I want to disable services I don't need.  The problem is that a lot of them have really cryptic names, and I can't find any good descriptions of what they all do.  I've scoured Sun's Solaris docs, but they're not very well-organized.  Can anyone point me to a simple list of service names, descriptions, functions, etc.?
