Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Alright I have created a webserver and its running good (aside from having samba problems I can't figure out) The question I have is regarding setting up Apache, MySQL and VSFTPD to automatically startup once the system reboots. I was curious how I do this. Do I have to edit a file or is there an easy command that I just use on the command line to run. I'm not sure if I have to edit somethign in inetd or rc.local.
OK So lets say I want to start Apache. Usually I would type "/usr/local/bin/apache2/bin/apachectl start". So in my rc.local file I would add a new line with "/usr/local/bin/apache2/bin/apachectl start"?
What distribution are you using? If you are using the apache, mysql or ftp that came with the distribution, there are tools to automatically do this for you.
if the binary for apache is here
usr/local/bin/apache2/bin/apachectl
then i think he has built that from source so he can make some scripts on his own and put that in the runlevel,with help from the readymade scripts
