OTOH, the other distros have a hard time deciding what runlevel is the default "multi-user with networking" runlevel - Debian uses 2 and Redhat uses 3. If we chose to follow the crowd we'd still be using "rpm" or "apt-get". I see Gentoo more as a pioneer in this regard. -- -- [email protected] mailing list
