Hi Paul,

If you can stomach the command line, update-rc.d is Debian's equivalent 
of Red Hat's chkconfig. Basic usage is pretty simple, see 
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28 ; it beats making the 
symlinks by hand.

Keep in mind that all the firestarter GUI does is apply iptables rules.
