Well, it looks like I'll be spending some effort to swap out some OpenLinux
boxes pretty soon. Principles you know...

Can someone tell me, which of the various distributions are closest to OpenLinux
in as far as directory locations and system V startup scripts?





I found TurboLinux to be the closest. None of the Red Hat crap like chkconfig, and the placement of files is very similar. It seems to be faster than OpenLinux too (very subjective), but upgrades are very spotty and inconsistent. If you want newer versions of anything - libraries, apps, etc. - you'll want to compile from source, and there may be considerable tweaking required. Don't try to upgrade KDE on it, it'll break a hundred things.

The only other problem is that it is under the UnitedLinux consortium, though it seems to be sticking to its own distro. I'm not sure what their position on pricing and licensing is. They're big in Asia, which is a very price-sensitive market. I don't use it now because I'm not too sure where they're headed.
