Overview of the bootprocess under systemd: http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/bootup.html Some info about old- and new-style daemons: http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/daemon.html Some general info about the systemd daemon: http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/systemd.html Lots and lots of man-pages documenting every little part of systemd: http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/ More info about systemd, including links to Lennart's blogs, which explain things in a more understandable way than the man-pages: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ > Now I know that you can explain things.
