I'm using Debian 6 and Dropbox. I followed [these commands](https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx) to install it. When I run ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd — Dropbox works and stuff. Problem is that when I close terminal or, even worse — reboot, Dropbox stops working and I need to run that daemon again. How can I have the computer automatically start that daemon in the background?
