I can't comment on the difference with the SysV style, as I've not had enough experience with it, but I *can* say that the Slackware scripts are (to me) a lot more readable than say, RedHat scripts. The reason I say that is because there are no utility functions to trace through, no extra stuff at all. Each script is straightforward shell script. Anyway, I like it. :-)
