run-level

Hi, the different run-levels start different apps / services etc based on the executable contents of their corressponding folder. so if you have a default run-level of 3 and then startx - you will have simply started X, whereas, if you change the run-level to 5, there may be additional processes which are also started.

Initially, after installing a distribution, run-level 5 will include everything in run-level 3 plus the X environment, but this is not always the case - it varies between distributions and some software might only run automatically in one run-level.

Should have clarified this at the time, basically each run-level has different associated processes.

Location: Pasadena, CA so run-level to 3 and then startx, must be better to save resources.
