Eek! I remember the two years I spent in Minneapolis, when we remarked that 
over there we had "real weather".

My setup works just fine with run-levels that I set up years ago. I have one 
for no-x, which as well as not starting X also omits services that are only 
useful in X. I also use the nonetwork run-level for major emerges such as 
wholesale upgrades of KDE.

The only thing I can think of at the moment that annoys me about open-rc is 
the loss of alphabetical ordering in the output from rc-update -s -v; 
everything else just works (well, apart from Flash in web browsers, but that 
hardly counts).
