(Be prepared for nasty politics.) 3) Suggest that this directory be documented in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.It is safe to say that more distributions are using an /etc/sysconfig scheme than anything else. In SuSE Linux 8.0 there is an /etc/sysconfig directory, but the file contents don't match the other /etc/sysconfig-using distros.
Hi,I wrote a Complete Training for all these distro, and therefore I know very well
what they did.Would be 100 times more easy that SuSE adopt a RedHat Linux complaint System like Caldera, Conectiva adopt in the past. I don't remember TurboLinux, but also
them seems uses a "standard" IBM/HP/Silicon/SCO behaviour. SuSE is "another planet" ... on Linux.Different "init" level (5 is not included, 3 is equivalent to 2), a lot of etc...
About SysV init dir they have also difference.Just to be "rude" with SuSE ... will be better if they forget what they did
in the past and moves to join to "the rest of us" . Thanks, Giovanni.
