By default, all runlevels in Debian are *identical*[1]. Because of this it makes no sense for switch/change or whatever to runlevel 5, which is why the default runlevel in Debian is 2 and not 5[2]. [1] actually there is a small difference in inittab itself ;) [2] yes, I know other distros don't do it like this, and no, what they are doing is not a standard, it's just common practice. I've made this confusion too a few years ago :) Kind regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
