It would be better started in bootlocal.sh? or...? I could use Apache and other non-x dependant in run level 2 and only start a window manager if there was a reason to? Is backgrounding w/ & valid in bootlocal? Is that the equivalent of multitasking? I saw something that *nix is based around the kernel (or? don't recall) were win is based around the window manager.

bootlocal would be better for root non-X startup, and afaik user scripts are to be placed in a login shell script.
And so your assuming of not running X would be correct.
Backgrounding with a & is valid in any script as it is part of the shell.

Not sure what you mean by multitasking.
Afaik most OS's are built around a central kernel. Windows (NT) does this as well but has some kind of mixed/hybrid kernel of which details I don't know but you could look up. Afaik earlier Windows contained applications built upon DOS.

multitasking was a term used a lot about win 3.x's ability to run multiple apps and coordinate sharing things like processor time and memory v.s msdos usualy couldn't. taskman was the task manager. Now it's used more as part of a job description. Like a receptionist doing a bunch of things at once.
Could you point me in the direction of a good site where I could pick up the fundiimental concepts just like that one, without pages of step by step instructions or all the gory details?
thanks
