I thought you ran this stuff before? Linux is linux as far as all this is
concern.. distro´s are mainly just fancy installs and maintenances things..
(generalizing of course).. They all work the same..

Postfix will work happily without it running as a daemon, _however_ it will
not be able to retry delayed mail or process it's queue. Additionally, the
machine will not be able to receive mail directly.

In general you would want to run it at startup.

You will need to start postfix at boot (rc-update add postfix default).
You will have to configure postfix. A great place to start is
http://www.postfix.org/
