"Here We Go Again, Another Linux Init: Intro to systemd" discusses the concepts behind systemd and what it is supposed to do. Now it's time to learn how to use it to control services on our systems. systemd is backwards-compatible with sysvinit and Upstart, so you can try it out by installing it on any Linux that uses sysvinit or Upstart without a lot of extra work. Arch Linux, Debian, and OpenSUSE all include systemd in their software repositories.

Link is missing

DB ·
LOL...thanks dj

I thought I was going crazy when I couldn't click through. I was thinking maybe I'd found yet ANOTHER bug in Firefox 9 (don't get me started on that) but, lo and behold, there was a simpler explanation.
Grishnakh ·
Firefox is up to 9 now? Must have missed that breaking news. Wow, they've finally caught up with IE now! Pretty soon they'll be all the way up to 11.
caitlyn ·
11 is scheduled for release in March. Mozilla releases early and often now, whether it's needed or not, whether it breaks things or not.

I fixed the LXer listing -- the link is live. If this means Carla is writing a new Linux book, I'm in ...
caitlyn ·
@Steven: You're an LXer editor now? Cool! Good choice, management.
Scott_Ruecker ·
Thanks Steve. I swear I checked the link before I queued it up, sorry Carla.

Eleven? Really?

Yeah! Eleven is Louder!

(I'm still using 3.6. Should I care?)

nikkels ·
3.6 ? Wasn't that in the eighties :-)
tracyanne ·
That would be when FireFox had a mullet.

Quoting:I blame society


Yeah, society is stupid..;-)
tuxchick ·
Remember, friends, baaa means no!
BernardSwiss ·
That would be, "Baaaaaa... Huuuumbug!"

Bookmarked

caitlyn ·
I've bookmarked this one. The links at the end of the article alone make it worthwhile :)
tuxchick ·
Heh, Mr. Poettering has a rather amusing way of linking the series. Oh wait, it's not funny :)
caitlyn ·
Anyway, it's a good article, as was your previous introduction to systemd article.
