I recently switched from CentOS to Ubuntu, mainly to get newer packages but keep system stability.

Can anyone point to a list (or submit one) of changes between these platforms, like instead of x you'll use y, this is located here, ...

Examples

# commands
yum -> apt-get
chkconfig -> susv-rc-conf
service httpd restart -> apache2ctl restart

# users (ownership)
httpd -> www-data

# locations
/etc/httpd -> /etc/apache2

    actually, retarting apache should be done by /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
