In S.u.S.E., Solaris, and I think that in debian it should be too, Runlevel 2
is the same as runlevel 3, but without network serving (no export via nfs, no
httpd, no smbd, no ypserv, etc...).
Now you can argue which of these approaches is more common, but the fact that
RedHat chose to go one way hardly makes it the standard way. On the contrary,
I am pretty sure that the number of all those who use some of the
distributions/other unixes I mentioned is greater than the number of all those
using RedHat and/or Slackware.
