As others have pointed out, it depends.

Here's my list of services. It works (mostly), I doubt that it can get 
any shorter (unless you don't have a network, or use network manager).

messagebus      0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
network         0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
xfs             0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
