[ale] How do I get to run level 3? Ubuntu 6.10

[Jeff Lightner]

My comment about "funny looks" was meant to be humorous about using the lowest multi-user runlevel to do everything - not a slam against Ubuntu. 

Having said that I don't find anything funny about rpm/yum/up2date which I prefer greatly to apt/aptitude et al in Debian based distros.

RedHat/Fedora work fine for everything we use Linux for.  We just got Oracle eBiz R12 loaded successfully on FC6 despite the fact that it isn't "supported" by Oracle (the latest they show is RHEL4).  

As Johnny Storm says:  Flame on!

I have clearly been out of Debian realms for a long time. Maybe I should
play some with the Ubuntu CD I downloaded just so I can keep a bit more
current on non-SysV systems.

The switch from Slackware to RedHat was painful. Now I have to really
scratch my head to work on a Slackware box :) I still have my
subscription to slackware but I haven't installed it for more than a
"look-see" in years.
