Despite it is clearly noted on http://drupal.org/node/1248790 the recommended way is to download Drush from the project page and to install it manually by reading the instructions of the README.txt file, many people start executing the aptitude command given on the same page:

$ sudo apt-get install drush

$ drush --version
$ drush dl drush

How to properly install APF (Advanced Policy Firewall) on CentOS or Ubuntu

This guide will show you how to properly install APF firewall, one of the better known Linux firewalls available, on different Linux distros like Redhut/CentOS and Debian/Ubuntu. Configuration part doesn't differ from distro to another distro, so reading the official README file or googling will suffice.

sysv-rc-conf is RedHut/CentOS chkconfig alternative for Debian/Ubuntu

The sysv-rc-conf program gives an easy to use interface for managing "/etc/rc{runlevel}.d/" symlinks. The interface comes in two different flavors, one that simply allows turning services on or off and another that allows for more fine tuned management of the symlinks.

Unlike most programs configuration of the levels, you can edit startup scripts for any runlevel, not just the current.
To install just need to run the command:


sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf

Once installed run the command:


sudo sysv-rc-conf
