This is good; if distros can stick with a standard.
I found the following amusing, because clearly it has been an ongoing
problem between all the *-ix for along long time:
Linux SuSe:
grep default /etc/inittab
id:2:initdefault:
default runlevel is 2 for networking, NFS, but without X
whereas 3 is same as 2 but with X.
Linux RedHat:
grep default /etc/inittab
id:3:initdefault:
2=multiuser, no NFS, No X.
3=as per 2 but with NFS, no X.
5=as per 3 but with X.
IRIX: This is full multiuser with NFS and X:
grep default /etc/inittab
is:2:initdefault:
Solaris: This is full multiuser with NFS and X:
grep default /etc/inittab
is:3:initdefault:
Do I see no pattern here?
Anyway it would be good to see a standard being adhered-to.
Of course one could always hack about ones own distro to make it comply with
the standard however it would break of course when one "upgrades".
Cheers,
Jill.

Yes, some changes in the pipelines for most distros:
- standard set of runlevels (runlevel 4 is for local admin use).
2 is multiuser no network
3 is multiuser with NFS
5 is multiuser and graphical
7,8 and 9 not allocated
