I'm too new to know what is the standard or default tool to configure
what services are started at boot.

I've installed chkconfig from ancient expierence on various linux
distros but suspect their is something more popular or maybe something
installed with default install.

Besides the tools already mentioned, you may also familiarize yourself
with /etc/init.d/ and the symlinks in /etc/rc2.d/. A very easy way to
disable a service is to rename "@S10someservice" to "@K10someservice".

For control of running services, I always use "/etc/init.d/service start|
stop|force-reload", but there is also invoke-rc.d, which might even be
preferred. YMMV.


Have fun!
