In Gnome, under
Red Hat Menu > System Settings > Server Settings > Services
you will find a very nice gui. KDE should have something in a roughly
similar spot. Now for some background.
On a Red Hat based system, there's two major "run levels". Run level 3
is a fully usable server with command line only. Run level 5 is
basically run level 3 with X added. Run level 6 is reboot. Run level 0
is low level system maintence ("single user") mode.
Make sure you're editing run level 5, and make sure you save your
changes.
All your boot scripts are in /etc/init.d
Each run level is represented by /etc/rc#.d
The run level directories contain symbolic links to the start and stop
scripts. chkconfig is command line program often used to maintain
installing, enabling, and disabling scripts. Whether you choose to use
the GUI, chkconfig, or modify the scripts and symbolic links yourself,
it's all about the same.
Debian has slightly different run levels. Gentoo has replaced run levels
with something cooler but slightly slower. *BSD has no concept of run
levels, and in my opinion suffers because of it. There's been talk of
overhauling the whole Linux startup process, but not much has happened
yet. And I'm sure this is more than you wanted to know.

I've thought about becoming a defeatist, but I've decided it can't
possibly work.
