[Nix-dev] systemd

[Stefan Buller]

Hey,
I just discovered the brand new systemd. systemd is a replacement PID
1 with a break in direction from sysvinit worthy of NixOS (IMHO). The
blog post^1 introducing systemd goes amazingly in-depth into the
reasons for a new approach, and why existing init replacements
(upstart in particular - picked on, I think, because it's clearly the
next best) aren't sufficient.
