<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Dear systemd Devs,
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">Hello, my name is
Irvin Choi I am student from Dwight School Seoul, and I am writing a
extended essay within IB (<a target="_blank" href="http://ibo.org">ibo.org</a>) curriculum research paper about
systemd, service manager for Linux/GNU operating system. There are
few questions that I would like to ask to broaden my understanding
regarding systemd, and I would like to kindly ask you to answer them
to best of your ability.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">It is very important
for my research paper, as the research paper plays huge role in my
high school curriculum and possibly my future. I would like to mention that, I
may use your questions on the research paper for credibility
purposes.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">Here are the
questions (please consider explaining your answers and avoid short
answers):</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">1) Who are you and
what do you do for the community?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">2) What do you think
of the systemd as a service manager? Do you have an opinion about its
pros and cons?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">3) What do you think
users of the distribution thinks about the systemd? Do you think they
favor systemd? If not, why so?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">4) Through my
research, I was able to see that there are existing service managers
such as upstart, sysvinit, and others. Why did systemd become the
standard over the others in most of the distributions? Was it worth
the replacement of existing service manager that is seen to be
reliable?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">5) What changes that
do you think systemd should make to improve itself? For instance,
‘typing systemctl everytime is bothersome. Systemd should shorten
it to sctl instead.)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">6) There are lots of
Linux/GNU users across the world. To what users are systemd intended
for? Do you think systemd is useful for the servers administrators,
desktop users, laptop users, or others?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">7) I’ve heard that
there are lots of debate about systemd and it really got heated at
one point, involving personal opinions, politics, and others. What
was the cause and how did it get resolved (if at all)?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">8) Is there anything
else you would like to tell me about systemd?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">Thank you very much
time.. It means a lot for me, as I am really
interested in Linux/GNU system, and this became the opportunity to
broaden my understanding.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">Have a great day.</p></div></div>
