Woah woah woah, please to not be badmouthing my one true love, Debian.
RedFlag is based on Asianux, which itself seems to be an RHEL distro.

Having convenience services run, even when you don't have a printer
connected, is common.  cups, hpoj, ssh, etc.  Please find support from
places like #linux, because a little back-and-forth with people
interested in teaching you how to recognize what distro is installed and
what services are which would help you greatly.

As mentioned before, I'm on Freenode in #linux and #debian (but #debian
will not help if you aren't using it.)

Also, I would not trust any pre-installed operating system.  Install
what YOU want, and know what YOU have.
