In proving that all linux distributions are written by monkeys on crack.
It has occurred to me that differing distros have different runlevels to
mean the same thing.

In Redhat:
0	Shutdown
1	Bootup
2	Single user mode
3	Multiuser
4	-
5	X11
6	Reboot

In Debian (iirc):
0	Shutdown
1	Single user mode
2	Console
3	X11
? (4?)	Reboot

Now, who can explain what kind of crack monkey couldn't choose a
standard for this?

The biggest problem with linux, and why it will die? Basic things like
runlevels and init.d work differently from platform to platform. It
makes it a lot harder.
