GNOME introducing stronger dependencies on systemd
(blogs.gnome.org)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The funny thing is that the init part is working really really well. At least from a user perspective. Writing a unit file is soooo much easier than writing an init script. You just point it at the executable of your service and are done. Systemd does the complicated rest.
