A look at Slackware 10.0
Well, it does appear to use a sysV init daemon, but then so does
gentoo, without being traditional sysV init systems. eg. it doesnt
have a series of directories, like /etc/rc0.d /etc/rc3.d filled with
symlinks to the scripts in /etc/init.d with names like K05foo and
S90bar, indicating the order of a set of scripts to be run when
leaving and entering a new runlevel. Rather, it uses a bunch of
/etc/*.conf files to determine the behaviour of the helper scripts,
and a large script for each runlevel that calls the helper
subsystem scripts. Which is similar to the old BSD system, but
their scripts and conf files were all just in /etc/, and there is
not really an idea of general runlevels, but more like security levels.
