I can't fit this into a table but I feel it needs added here as it's a "Difference/Equivalent Command"

In R5.5 there was a KnoppMyth Menu that had options to Shutdown and Reboot the computer. The KnoppMyth Menu has been replaced with the "Service Menu". The Service Menu is missing the Shutdown and Reboot options. These options have been moved to a hidden menu that can be accessed by pressing "M" on your keyboard or the "M" equivalent on your remote. On my Grey Hauppauge remote the "Menu" key works by default to bring up the hidden menu.

Configuration settings

Many file locations and configuration settings have also changed.

Component or config file R5 Uses... R6 Uses... R5 example R6 Example
/etc/fstab device names UUID /dev/hda1 UUID=a6b1c6b8-eebf-4e28-8020-309cf441bfcc
