Linux is a kernel and it leans more in the sysV direction. As I recall, the early versions supported termio.h, not sgtty.h before things converged to the posix termios.h > Those dists > that retain their bsd layouts have no /etc/init.d directory, everything > lies under /etc/rc.d/.

SysV and bsd styles separated before Linux was invented. It's a shame they never converged and that bsd style distributions still don't have a decent way to start and stop services. --- Les Mikesell les@futuresource.com
