[SOLVED] Daemons Array Question

Two questions, actually:

1) When I installed wicd, the Arch Wiki told me to disable the network daemon with "!network". What is the difference between using the exclamation mark and just removing the word "network" from the array?

2) From what I can tell, netfs is used to access files on a network, like a LAN, correct? If I don't use that functionality on my laptop, is there any reason to keep this daemon at all? (i.e. does it have any effect on my internet access?)

Nothing really.

That's right. It will mount the network locations from your /etc/fstab

Thanks. These are the answers I was hoping for. Just trying to trim down my bootup time.
