Willy,

To find out what services you have available and are running, go to:

K Menu -> System Settings

Then click on the Advanced tab, and then click on "System Services".


As to which services you want to add, that depends. Which services are you planning to add? Why do they need root access?

One way you could do it is put it in your startup folder in /home.

Not /home :-)

$HOME - which is /home/$USER

But I have a few comments about that, anyway.

polipo should be automatically running out of /etc/init.d/, so you shouldn't
need to do anything.

I used polipo: now (as of last week) I'm using wwwoffle. Wwwoffle is _much_
better - it should run out of /etc/init.d/ too.

And what startup folder is in your home directory, anyway? Programs started
under kubuntu at user login to kde are in $HOME/.kde/Autostart. Programs
started at shell login would have to be manually added to one of the
~/.bash* scripts.

Dang, You're right. I seriously had a brain fart here, I was thinking of M$'s
startup folder. It's sad but true, 99.9% of my time repairing computers is an
M$ system, the other .1% is my own linux system.

LOL. That's probably the best reason I could imagine for such a brain
fart :-)
