Recently I've been trying to figure out how to get irssi to load when my system boots, so all of my channels and scripts are ready before I even log in, and I can just type "screen -drU" and roll. After asking my friends on IRC, I was pointed to /etc/rcS.d/S80bootmisc.sh, which appears to be a handy place for tossing random commands you want run at boot.

Remember, for every $5 or greater donation you get to request how-to/tips'n'tricks list/similar article written, so what are you waiting for? (Keep in mind the effort involved in your request compared to the money you've donated, I'm not writing a guide to all the gcc options for $5).
