Mandrake was derived from RH so it's obvious.

The runlevel system was established by SVR4. The conventions that were
adopted by (almost?) everyone are:
        0 - halt
        6 - reboot
        s - single user
        2 - multi user

The other runlevels varies between vendors. Examples:
        1 - RedHat takes you to single user; HPUX start syncer
        3 - RedHat starts NFS client, Autofs, NIS client; HPUX starts
            NFS server and CDE (X11)
        5 - RedHat starts X11
