October Meeting: What the heck is systemd?

[Steve Meyers]

Date: Tuesday, October 21st
Time: 7:30pm
Location: UVU Business Resource Center

Systemd is a "system management daemon designed for Linux and programmed exclusively for the Linux API" and is widely regarded as a replacement for the traditional SysV init architecture used to manage services running on a Linux system. Systemd is now the default system management tool on Fedora (as of v15), Red Hat Enterprise Linux / CentOS (as of v7), openSUSE (as of v11.4), and Arch Linux (as of Jan 2012), and is available for or coming soon to Ubuntu, Gentoo, Debian, and others.

Doran Barton will explain what Systemd does, how it differs from SysV init and upstart, and how users and administrators may interact with it. Whether you are already using a Systemd distribution or will be sometime in the future, this presentation will provide valuable information going forward.

Just go in the front doors, and follow the signs. We're usually in a conference in the back of the main floor. There will be pizza provided by TekSystems.

This sounds like a wonderful meeting, but there's no way I can attend. May
I hope it will be recorded and placed online?

I was there, and Doran did a great job with it. He did record it, so
I imagine it will be placed online, but I can't give you any more
details.
