Thank goodness Debian's release process is as rigourous as it is. Shame it takes them 2 years to punt one out, though...
Steady on... it's only been 1 year since 2.2 and there have been 3 security releases. The freeze for 3.0 has started. 18 months is probably closer ;-)
Ok, I have a couple of questions I'm not sure of the answers for. a) Runlevel 5 automatically starts the X window system T/F I think False. b) A window manager is a form of X server T/F Again I think False c) An X client can display its output on a remote X server T/F True Am I right on these?

Thanks for the answers. So what answer would you put for this question, bear in mind most of the other questions are refering to Redhat 7 explisitly.

I would put "it depends on the version of unix" as that is the correct answer, for example solaris uses runlevels, but they are not the same as rh... Sz

So the really correct answer is Mu? or is it just "crap question"? As its a redhat centric test I am inclined to put it down as true. Thanks D

I beleive we did have this at one point, but now we don't as its open to to much abuse and you get the "Oops didn't mean to send that isult to the list" Just use reply-all button.
SuSE uses runlevel 5 for xdm.
Cheers Thanks D

a) Runlevel 5 automatically starts the X window system T/F
http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/gLSB/gLSB/runlevels.html It starts xdm (according to the "standard"), hence i would say true. slack uses 4, redhat (5.2) uses 5
b) A window manager is a form of X server T/F
http://catalog.com/hopkins/unix-haters/x-windows/i39l.html
Again I think False
c) An X client can display its output on a remote X server T/F True
Assuming the ACLs allow it, yes. a and b are debatable, imho.

I hate badly worded questions like this, I am always tempted just to answer Mu. It all comes down to how picky you want to be!
