Hi,
After being educated on merits and superiority of geek arts in SELinux, Gnome 3,

I suddenly realized that it is already past F15 Beta, soon to be gold, and there
is that conspicuous silence about ... systemd.
For starters, let's consider my own adventures.
After installing my F15 Beta for the first time, I noticed that I need sendmail
service running for my system status e-mails.
Being a bold eagle, somewhat experienced in Computer Science, I assumed
I should be able to start figuring it out without studying tons of docs.
So, knowing that my new universe starts with systemd, I followed my instincts:
$ systemd --help
$ systemd --test
Your instincts need tweaking. When you absolutely know a given 'thing'
is made up of a single command, this is a good way to go. systemd is not
such a case. You don't use the systemd executable to manage systemd, in
most cases, so looking at the help for the systemd executable isn't
going to tell you much.
A better entry point in this case is:
What would be a much better idea would be to just start with the project
site:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd
which links you to
Well, how easy, how intuitive, what a concise and clear output !
And it makes the udev subsystem (as seen by udevadm, etc) a peanut by
comparison :-)
OK.
It is your turn.
Do not be shy, my fellow Fedora Linux users - share with us your impressions.
As I said, systemd is the new kid on the block, soon to be gold.
