Hi,
I don't think it is a Debian thing as various Unixes
have various use and definition of run levels. The
definition that was given below is very close to what
Solaris uses, but AIX, Tru64 or HPUX don't use that at
all. I think one of the reason why runlevels aren't
widely use is because what ha
Perhaps. I don't care for using 4 and 5 for starting X. I understand not
starting some or all network services in 2 and everything in 3, but in
practice I have never seen this used. I suspect that is why everything is
started in 2. Few people understand how to use run levels. Like you said,
th
don't really
change it much if ever.

Agreed - I definitely prefer the way it's done in Debian. I think it makes
sense to put some daemons in inittab, like licensing daemons or things that
provide crucial services, but I don't think X-Display Managers (xdm, gdm,
etc...) fall into this category. I guess I also like how some UNIX/Linux

Put it in /etc/rc2.d/. All those run before X starts (X is started by
/etc/inittab)
That is not true

Mine used to work properly (now there's no sound into the kernel since the
machine has been converted to a server and doesn't need any sound.
