Thank you for the correction. However I think I didn't got it all wrong. I noticed long time ago that by default runlevels 2, 4 and 5 have the same symlinks. What I don't undestand is why debian do that when all other distro provides you with a suitable runlevel configuration by default. After all, a system administrator can always change runlevels later. It's pointless to provide by default a configuration that would save no time neither to those who use debian as a server nor to those who use it as a workstation (my case). What's wrong with providing by default settings that 90% of people will need? Well, I've defended my self the best I could, but if I'm still guilty: am I at least granted to use Windows 3.11 insted of 1.0? ;-) > > Debian sets the runlevels 2-5 identically by default, so switching to > runlevel 3 gets you the identical results as runlevels 2, 4 and 5.
