Use chkconfig for particuler service like Mysql:

chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on

then it will work as serive,
service mysqld restart.

At our site(s), we're running RHEL3-5 as a server platform. Being fairly comfortable with Redhat, I decided to replace Windows as my desktop OS with CentOS 5.1. (Originally Centos 4.3, then upgraded to 5.1 a few months ago) So far, version 5.1 has been an extremely stable OS, with plenty of quality yum repository support. I have struggled with the jvm compatibility, though. Getting Sun's JDK to play well with Redhat's default gjc/javac is more trouble than it should be, in my opinion.

Over all, this is a nice Operating System -- the first Linux distribution I ever tried on my own system.

Although, this is the most stable OS I think I've ever used....


I think the package management would be MUCH better if things such as, having a system that looked like:

Category
|
Software Group
|
Software

instead of:

Category
|
Software Group (X of Y packages installed)

But that's just me.

Best Linux distro I've used on my own machine, very stable.

Great for a server environment, needs much work for a multimedia machine. If you're looking for a multimedia OS I would go elsewhere. But for a server machine this is great.
