There should also be an interactive, ncurses-based (i.e. color text-mode
app) program called "ntsysv". It will list all the services available,
whether they start for the current "run level"** and hitting F1 on each
will give you a description for each service.

to change the system setup while the system is running. On RedHat, 1 is

"init (run-level)" command is used both at system startup and shutdown
(e.g., 0 is shutdown, 6 is reboot) and can be called directly (e.g., if
you booted run-level 3, "init 5" will put you into GUI mode with GUI
login, assuming X-Windows is configured correctly). ]

- Samba
WinNT/2K PDC/SDC "Windows Networking" server with more flexibility and

KDE-based integrated development environment application that uses the
cross-platform GNU compiler collection for server, desktop and embedded
software development. Equivalent to Visual Studio with CE development
pack and probably 50 other 3rd party programs added.
- PostgreSQL
A transaction-based and fully ACID-compliant and very advanced SQL
database server. Replaces MS SQL Server. Access-like, code-free, GUI
database form generators exist in TheKompany's Rekall (GPL Linux,
commercial Windows) and Borland's Kylix (commercial, Delphi-equivalent
on Linux).
