Look in '/etc/rc2.d'. That's where all the startup files live.
They are links to real files in '/etc/init.d'.
Back in the days of real Linux, I knew what every file in there did.
Now there's so much undocumented Debian/Ubuntu junk in there
it's hard to tell what does what.

I have disabled these and my system still works:
The ones with asterisks are the questionable junk I mentioned.
S01policykit*                 S20apmd             S89anacron
S05vbesave*                   S20gdomap*           S89atd
S10acpid                     S20hotkey-setup*     S98usplash*
S10powernowd.early*           S20inetutils-inetd  S99laptop-mode*
S10xserver-xorg-input-wacom*  S20rsync
S18avahi-daemon*              S25pulseaudio*

These are still enabled:
S20cupsys         S23ntp     S89cron            S99rmnologin*
S10sysklogd  S20nvidia-kernel  S24dhcdbd  S90binfmt-support*
S99stop-readahead*
S11klogd     S20samba          S24hal     S99acpi-support
S12dbus*      S20winbind        S30gdm     S99rc.local

And 'System Monitor:Processes' still looks like WinXP on a bad day!
