Yeah, A and E make sense. Safety first!

But B can be useful for recovery, right?
RA

B is also risky, it's single-user mode.
GL

Agreed! A is shutdown, and E is reboot.
AL

I think A and E should never be default.

Wow, I didn't know that! Thanks for the heads up!

1 is single-user mode, definitely not default!
AL

Wait, are you sure about 1? I thought it was safe.

Haha, imagine if your system just rebooted itself every time you logged in. That would be a real party trick!

A and E? Really? That's like setting your default to power off or reboot. Not very useful!

Hmm, I'm gonna go with B and D. Wouldn't want my system stuck in rescue mode or the graphics runlevel.
LA

I'd say 1 and 5 are no-go's. Who wants to boot into single-user mode or X11 by default?
KI

Definitely not 0 and 6, those are for shutting down and rebooting the system.
VI

I’m a bit confused about run levels, but I think 0 and 6 are definitely not safe as defaults because they lead to shutdown or reboot.
HA

I practiced a similar question last week, and I feel like run levels 0 and 6 are both related to shutdown and reboot, so they shouldn't be defaults.
TE
Telma 10 months ago
I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about run level 1 being for single-user mode, which might not be ideal as a default either.
AR

Ugh, I'm drawing a blank on the run levels right now. I'll have to guess and hope for the best.
LO
Louvenia 10 months ago
I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. I remember learning that certain run levels should never be used as defaults, so I think I can narrow it down.
BE
Bernardo 10 months ago
Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll start by eliminating the run levels that are clearly not appropriate as defaults, then focus on the remaining options.
CA
Carey 10 months ago
I think run level 0 is definitely one that shouldn't be set as default since it usually means shutdown, right?
CA
Carla 11 months ago
Totally agree, 0 is shutdown and 6 is reboot!
VI
Virgie 11 months ago
A) 0 and E) 6 are the ones to avoid.
VE
Veronique 11 months ago
True, but not for default. A and E are clear choices.
RO
Roselle 11 months ago
I'm a bit confused by the wording of this question. I'll need to review my notes on SysV init to make sure I understand the run levels properly.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different run levels and their purposes.

Right! Not ideal for default either.
