ok, a quick rundown:
sysv is the (debian default) system that uses
/etc/init.d
/etc/rc2.d (et c)
and starts and stops scripts with scripts like
/etc/rc2.d/S99fooservice
the file-rc (or bsd-ish) init system has
a single /etc/init.d directory, and a single flat
file that says which services to start.
the former is arguably a little more flexible than the latter, but at
the expense of being more complicated.
