As far as I can tell, there is no substantial difference between init in (Open)SuSE, Fedora or Debian. What is different, is the structure of init scripts, not init itself. And even those aren't as different as they used to be in the past, at least among LSB compliant distributions. And IMHO this makes a big difference because reading (and writing) shell scripts is something every linux admin must know. On the other hand, I don't like the "every book describes" argument either. Even today, most books about Linux teach people to use ifconfig to configure their network interfaces - tool which is obsolete since kernel 2.2.
