Description

The best protection against vulnerable software is running less software. This section describes how to review the software which Fedora installs on a system and disable software which is not needed. It then enumerates the software packages installed on a default Fedora system and provides guidance about which ones can be safely disabled.

Fedora provides a convenient minimal install option that essentially installs the bare necessities for a functional system. When building Fedora systems, it is highly recommended to select the minimal packages and then build up the system from there.
