[BLUG] Send me your /etc/crontab run-parts section

Hi. I know some of you are running some more unique distributions out
there. I'm building a table of each distribution's default crontab
section for running hourly, daily, weekly and monthly jobs from cron.
Surprisingly, each distribution made their own choices when it comes to
when to run jobs. You can help me by sending me (not to the list) the
run-parts section of your /etc/crontab (or equivilent) and the name and
version of the distribution its from.

The part that I'm talking about looks like thsi (on Red Hat at least)

# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

So far I have the following distributions:

Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora - h01 d402 w422 m442
Debian - h17 d625 w647 m652
Ubuntu - h17 d625 w647 m652
Gentoo - h00 d301 w415 m530 (Runs weeklies on Saturdays)
Slackware - h47 d440 w430 m420

The reason why I'm doing this is because when I have multiple virtual
machines all on one host, I need to stager their default crontabs so
that they don't all run at once, which can cripple the machine. Knowing
about the different distros can help me plan accordingly.

And yes I'll make this public. Thanks for your help.
