I picked this tendency up from a year of using Arch Linux. Since I have returned to Debian, I find I do not understand its init script and boot up processes very well. A few days ago I installed Open Network Time to keep my clock in sync to the atomic time, but it does not apear to load upon boot. I have tried a few times to add a daemon to the init script on boot up with no success (perhaps things have changed with Lenny then the etch tutorials I was reading?). That is when I found BUM (Boot-Up Manager) a graphical run level editor.

As you can see from the screenshot this utility provides you with the information to understand what daemons and scripts may be running in the background of your system, and gives you the ability to adjust as seen fit.
