[gentoo-user] sysconfig

2006-05-23 Thread Allan Spagnol Comar

Maybe this is a stupid question for the list, but I was wondering
about and try some search at google and I don´t find the reason why
gentoo hasn´t /etc/sysconfig folder .

some one on the list could enlight me !!! show me where to look and
the reasons that this directory doesn´t exists.

thanks, Allan

/etc/sysconfig is a RedHat invention.  That's where they keep their
distro specific configuration and config files for system
configuration that RedHat has specifically built (G)UIs for.

One of the things I love so much about Gentoo is that it is so
transparent.  There is no distro-level abstraction for system config
files.  There are config files for daemons in /etc/conf.d, and for
various other housekeeping you would expect the distro to take care
of, there's eselect.
