While many (most? all?) distros (unices?) agree on 0, 1, and 6, the
others are distro-specific.  IIRC, Debian's "base" is runlevel 2, where
RH does 3 as multi-user w/o X and 5 as multi-user w/ X.  Of course,
they all just trigger the various lines in your /etc/inittab, so you
can have whatever runlevel do whatever you want... but try not to mess
around with 0, 1, and 6 :)
