Not to start a holy war here, but the idea is that with the Linux
Standards Base (http://www.linuxbase.org/) is all about.

I use redhat and debian extensively in various environments, it's nice to
know where things are. I'm afraid that:

ls /sbin/service on a debian box returns:

ls: /sbin/service: No such file or directory

Indeed, until recently, one could only find init.d on redhat under
/etc/rc.d/init.d while I'm not privy to redhat's policies, it does seem
that they've moved to LSB standardised locations for more and more crucial
stuff.

/sbin/service will like remain a symlink in redhat for some time to come
but it makes sense, if someone is just learning the system, to use the
location that's no accepted as "standard".

Best,

Ian
