I wanted to know what is the logic behind the differences in Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10...

I mean i am not aware of all the differences, but i came across one which i would like to share.. in 9.04, there is no "init" or "inittab" and there is one "event.d" directory

but in 9.10, we do have an "init" and "init.d" whereas no "event.d"..

I had been researching on this thing because i wanted to change the runlevel of Ubuntu to "1" while startup..

So please help me out here..

And Please CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG SOMEWHERE WITH WHAT I WROTE...

I really enjoyed 9.04 it was an great release. 9.10 is also very good. I have had to fix a few issues with wifi by upgrading the kernel but once that was done it became 100% perfect. Ubuntu and linux in general tend to get better with newer releases. You just need a little patience.

Read Release notes and you get the answer. Mostly GUI front end will not get changed drastically. All or some library files will be updated.
