And why is the dir layout different on SuSE?
Because we are trying to follow the LHS (Linux Hierarchy Standard) as close as possible (and no distribution is closer to it than SuSE Linux). For instance, the LHS mandates that /etc shall contain no executables (which includes shell scripts), so we created /sbin/init.d and moved the init scripts there.
Well, I use to run Red Hat 6.1 but decided to start using SuSE because I had
the impression that SuSE followed LHS better then Red Hat. It may sound
silly but the final difference came down to where KDE was placed in the FS.
SuSE put it where it is ment to be (IMO) /opt.
