Saving the output from chkconfig to file

I am running the chkconfig to see what services are running at boottime...i'm new to Linux...how do I save this output to file? I want to compare it to other servers we are running.

Couple bash basics :
 >  redirects command output to a eigther device ( monitor or e.g. serial port ) or file .
 If you omit exact location where the file has to be written
 (  /home/nedvis from my example #2)
 file will be created in directory you're currently in.
So , make sure to login as root  (su),  check what directory you're in
( command is pwd - I think it stands for "p-rint w-orking d-irectory" )
and if you want change directory to where you want to save file.
( command would be :  cd   /home/<user_name> )

you can also use diff (or sdiff, my preference) to compare the two systems
