daemons in rc.conf: order ok?

This is the daemon line in rc.conf

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal network netfs crond cups alsa slim)

Is this ok? Do I need any other drivers? I want to print (cups!) stream music (via stream tuner) and look at my digital photos and manipulate them via gimp.

That seems fine to me.  Are you specifically having any problems with the things you are trying to do?

u can probably backround some of them. (add a @ in front of them)

You could background the last four.

You could remove slim and instead edit /etc/inittab (id:5:initdefault: and run slim form the "x:5:respawn:" line). Why? it means you can turn the gui off and on easily (init 3, init 5 and from grub append 3 to the boot line to get text mode, multiuser. No need to make that change, just more flexibility.

I guess you wont need crond if you're not planning to have any jobs done automatically by a cronjob.
