Re: anacron and cron
Depends on the packages who depend on (ana)cron
and check what the advantages are of either package.Since it's a workstation you should be able to disable portmap and get rid of FAM.Lets say if you understand how programs like fam work, you'll know it's better than any AV program out there. And these things can learn you a great deal about the inner workings of the OS.
You can get rid of it there are a lot of alternative packages which you can install when you do want to use one.My guess is you alreaddy found these links:
