The fact that other distros have a particular feature is a pretty weak argument. Maybe you can come up with a real reason, i.e. a particular problem you face with the current setup which would be solved.
NOPE, i never meant that :-)
There's a good description on choice of features in CRUX on http://crux.nu/Main/About
thanks for this. ATM, i know that "CRUX == simplicity" and that is all i know about CRUX.
also covering the apparent "lack" of features when compared to other distribution.
again, NOPE, i never meant that.
Judging from your post it might be a good idea to read that page to better understand what CRUX goals are, and whether they match your requirements.
Johannes, actully i meant this: different runlevels belong to different things and hence different resources (in OS). i thought, if i use runlevel 2 and "xdm" then it would be equal to "command-line + startx". i was under the impression that runlevel 5 takes all the resources that X needs whereas runlevel 2 does not and i did mention that in my post. ---- now xdm starts but i think it is not taking the benefits of X ------ BTW, i dont give a damn about features of other distros. it is good that CRUX is different and i am the one who always believe that softwares must be simple, logical and extensible from inside (and at least not like Fedora and C++, if you need examples)
