Hi,

I have not heard about that and I do not exactly know what I should 
think about it. 
I wanted to mention, that the Linux distribution of my choice is 
SuSE, they of course have the standard init structure implemented 
(runleves in /sebin/init.d/rc0.d to rc6.d), BUT: most of the system 
configuration is done with /etc/rc.config and a script 
/sbin/SuSEconfig that reads /etc/rc.config and applies the 
necessary changes to the appropriate files, while each script in 
/sbin/init.d will read /etc/rc.config first to get the actual configuration 
for its varaiables.
