This is however distribution dependent. i.e. slackware uses run level 4 instead of 5 for GUI. Gentoo, Debian, Ubuntu make no distinction between run levels 2,3,4 and 5.

2. Solaris machines (pre SMF) run through all the scripts from rcS.d to rc3.d (or higher)
Post SMF Solaris machines also run the rcS.d, rc2.d and rc3.d scripts, a.k.a. legacy startup scripts. Converting startup scripts to smf, while recommended for obvious reasons isn't mandatory.
