> What is better about BSD style init?

 From a strictly technical point I don't think I can say one is better 
than the other. They would appear to serve their respective needs quite 
well.

But the BSD init style resonates with me better because it is simpler. I 
honestly have never found the need to switch between run levels for any 
reason, system maintenance or not. The additional directory structure 
and scripts/links imposed by SysV init complicate the matter and offer 
me no functionality I care to avail myself of.

Furthermore, I would conjecture that the boot process takes longer too 
due to the transitions between run levels that occurr, but I'm probably 
talking out my ass in this regard ;)
