UNIX or Linux?
If Linux, being that you were at Connectiva, then yes, anything formerly Red Hat-based is typically going to be 2-3-5.
But what UNIX are you talking about? System V style init scripts are typically the foundation of anything post-1986 and non-BSD. But there was never any declared "run-level standards," and different UNIX flavors vary.
And I have no mean UNIX experience either, even tho I don't call myself a guru (SunOS, Solaris, OSF/1, HP/UX, lots of different Linuxes, AIX from 2 up to 4). And I was a professional AIX admin (inside IBM) for some time, so at least for that one I can testify with deep knowledge.
AIX is just one UNIX flavor. I think you might be mistaking AIX as the "standard" UNIX? I'm just trying to figure out where you are coming from.
Errr, I never made such a claim :) I said I was using it when I was working for Conectiva. As a matter of fact, I was following a lot of standards that Conectiva never mandated. Just my old paranoid side speaking :)
Okay ... (still scratching my head)
If there is one thing I've learned to do, it's check the /etc/inittab or /etc/rc script the first time I get on a new UNIX/Linux flavor.
