Ubuntu - Debian

Hi

i have a problem in indexing records on Ubuntu i read on mailing list that the ubuntu , centos , opensusu do not have a daemon program so you would need to set up a crontab to run rebuild_zebra.pl with the -z option (and -a and -b) which just picks up changes since the last rebuild_zebra run ...... 

so is that problem found also in debian or just ubuntu....
