linuxconf) and so on. And yes, no messing around with symbolic links,
those magic S?? and K?? numbers too.
thats what i like about slackware
it assumes that sysadmins setting up services to run at startup know what they are doing, and know that service X has to be started before service Y (dnscache / resolver startup before sendmail for example).
sets you free to do stuff .. and removes the safety net that handicaps you ... on the other hand, debian is far more complex wrt dependencies etc in its package management, and in its rearranging the structure / location etc of a whole lot of config files to make them configurable using debconf.
Watching someone who has used other distros and can switch quite comfortably between them to take over a running debian system is rather funny ... they get to tear their hair out and sometimes wind up putting a slackware CD into the machine and hitting reboot rather than waste any further time figuring out stuff like just why debian has to call exim's "configure" exim.conf and split it into multiple different files scattered all over the place.
