chkconfig sets it to run on boot, service starts, stops, and restarts immediately. chkconfig --list will give you the list of services (hence the command service)
On the topic of FC vs Ubuntu services - Fedora has different runlevels than Ubuntu. /etc/inittab describes each runlevel. When you issue the 'chkconfig' command, it only turns on/off the service in the current runlevel, unless you specify otherwise: chkconfig --level 3 <service> <- turns <service> on in runlevel 3 chkconfig --level 35 <service> <- turns <service> on in runlevel 3 and 5 I only mention this in case you switch to text-only or graphical mode and wonder why your services haven't been started...
