[NTLUG:Discuss] init differences

[Leroy Tennison]

Learned recently that other *NIX use cumulative run levels where it 
appears that Linux puts links to every script needed for a given run 
level in it's rc?.d directory.  Is there a reason for this or is it just 
stylistic preference?

Also, seems that SuSE has more run levels than Red Hat (particularly S 
unless Red Hat has added that since I last used it), is there a good 
reason why?
