Yeah.. or arguably ones of value. I still like the fact that it=E2=80=99s =
running =E2=80=9Cservice <foo> stop=E2=80=9D on /etc/rc.d scripts in =
reverse to shut things down cleanly, as opposed to reboot(8) which just =
reboots. This can make a bit of a difference if you just set up a system =
and still have mount points setup, etc.
