I may not be an admin per se, but systemd looks like a good thing. It is indeed a new thing though, and forces the user to read new documentation to know precisely how to do things.
The openSUSE reference book documents the clasical boot system and system V extensively: an entire chapter. Alas, no mention of systemd.
And man pages aren't a nice read to learn things, very hard to read. No comparison with the SUSE docs. And they will not write the new chapter for several months.
(yes, there is a bugzilla about that, before anybody asks).
On that note, I have a blog that is aggregated by the planet. I wanted to write an article on systemd. However, I frankly do not much understand it. Lennart wrote an extensive list of blog posts about systemd, at http://0pointer.de/blog/. Among them are 11 posts about systemd from an administrator's perspective.
Do you know about them?
If not, http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html is an initial post about what systemd is about; and http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/inetd.html has links to all other admin-related blog postings. I do not necessarily agree with all of his and Kais arguments (that satiric comparison sheet http://i.imgur.com/usftZ.png is there for a reason), but docs are there in abundance. I'd have loved to have the same level of documentation for ConsoleKit/PolicyKit, but that's another story... ;-)
Joachim I did not. And despite my name, I am not from Germany.
Just to assure that there's no misunderstanding, and for the archives: The blog posts are in English, not in German, even though Lennart uses a .de domain.
