[lug] Apache start on boot

[Riggs, Rob]

Trust me, there are *lots* of things, coming from a Linux background, that
will drive one batty about Solaris. :-)

And be forewarned that chkconfig is a "redhat-ism" and not available on
ALL Linux's.  :-)  But still a useful tool...

Another thing coming from Solaris that'll drive you batty is that
RedHat's init jumps STRAIGHT TO THE RUNLEVEL without starting
everything in previous runlevels.  If you're used to Solaris, you'll
wonder why when you go to a higher runlevel, things aren't running from
lower levels.  You have to have appropriate symlinks in the directory
structure to start whatever you need at EACH of the runlevels.
