There are gui tools on the menu for configuring "servers", but if you
like command-line, read "man chkconfig".
Typical use:
chkconfig httpd on
chkconfig --list
[to see list of services and runlevels they are on for]
Sets httpd to start at runlevels 2,3,4,5.
service httpd start
Is convenient to start it manually, see help text from "service".
