That sure is one way of doing it, and it would work :-)

This is not my solution. This is as per the debian docs. It is
surprising how many people using debian have never even done a
"man update-rc.d"! I used to be on debian-users list for about
2 years ... that is the place for debian specific stuff. It is
a high volume list, but maybe worth it to pick up  debian spe-
cific stuff.

This is the main difference between various distros.The kernel
and apps remain the same. Essentially, there  are two types of
init processes, the bsd and the Syst-V, debian and  RH  follow 
the latter.

All of us have come about the same path... just keep on, there
is nothing difficult or impossible, only a bit of brain-tease!

You can use aliases to  decrease the amount of typing you need 
to do to get commands you commonly use. You can  place them in 
your startup file (.login) as well. Under csh and tcsh: 

alias lf ls -FA
alias ll ls -lA
