Really?  I didn't know how it was "supposed" to go.  Is that defined
somewhere?  Is this whole runlevel/init.d thing a System V thing?  It does
end up being disorienting for anyone who goes from distribution to
distribution.  Since what they put in those directories end up changing
from one to the other.

	Or is it just administrator preference?
