RH 8.0 and GNOME by BluesByNight2002-10-03 13:22:51
  Alt+F[1-4]? Possibly Ctl+F[1-4] by Freakazoid2002-10-03 13:31:07
    Nope :) by BluesByNight2002-10-03 13:36:53
      ctrl+alt+f(whatever) (n/t) by surgo2002-10-03 13:39:30
        Nope. That's caught by the X server. by Avium2002-10-03 13:44:25
          Not the X server, linux itself. (Ctl+Alt+F7 is X) by Freakazoid2002-10-03 13:47:28
            I knew that. Honest. by Avium2002-10-03 13:52:10
              Well, hoping to get X running eventually. by Freakazoid2002-10-03 13:54:03
                But..but.. by BluesByNight2002-10-03 13:56:24
                  Personally, I like KDE by Freakazoid2002-10-03 14:00:18
                    I've got other problems with RedHat. by Avium2002-10-03 14:03:57
                      Text based tools? by Snowdog2002-10-03 14:20:20
                        *sigh* Yes, I know about useradd. by Avium2002-10-03 14:32:31
                          Ok. by Snowdog2002-10-03 14:43:24
                            Not exactly unique. by Avium 2002-10-03 17:24:58
But I think RedHat was the first Linux distribution to use that layout. I think it originated with *BSD. Mandrake, which was originally based on RedHat only compiled with the Pentium optimizaations so no 386 or 486 support, also uses the sysconfig directory and I still haven't found all of the config files the drak tools change.

The only three distros I've used are Slackware, Mandrake and RedHat so I can't comment on the others. Slackware uses a very simple SysV type of setup. All of the configs are contained in the rc files and all of the rc files are in one directory (/etc/rc.d). You are expected to vi (or emacs or pico) the scripts to get things to work.
