Most of these services don't do anything when you don't use them. They don't use CPU and they hardly consume memory. Consider upgrading your RAM to at least 512 M. Oracle 10g is not Personal Oracle 7.3, and you are doing yourself a disservice if you try to learn a crippled product. And sqlplus for windows doesn't exist anymore in 10g, so you *have* to use isql*plus, if you don't want to work with DOS boxes.
