# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are: # 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this.) # 1 - Single user mode # 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3 if you do not have networking.) # 3 - Full multiuser mode # 4 - unused # 5 - X11 (the same as 3 but launch server with GUI) # 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this.)
The "real world" or straight dope: http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-2001-01/lw-01-geek_1.html The sys admin guide version of the world: http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/sag/x2111.html Note, there is a Standards group that has set a universal standard that all Linux's are supposed to use. I believe it follows the "real world" version... Isn't that just like Linux folks! to ignore the academia and go with what works...
