Learning Debian - run level question?



Hey,

I've been using Debian/Linux for just less than year and have been
irreversibly hooked. I've been studying up on the boot and initialization of
the system and have a question about run levels. I know Debian defaults to
using run level 2. There is a comment in /etc/inittab that states;

# Runlevels 2-5 are multi-user.

When i look at how a process has been started (just for example apache).

debian:/home/me# sysv-rc-conf --list | grep apache
apache2 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

Sure enough, apache has been started on all run levels 2-5. So here's my
question. On a default Debian system are all run levels 2-5 setup exactly the
same making no difference to the run level you chose to run in?

Thanks,
Randy
