If you’re a new or intermediate Linux user or sysadmin, you might have felt an odd fascination with the myth of systemd. I invite you to this deep dive into systemd's nuts and bolts. I'm not gonna beat around the bush: It's a hairy business, it will be hard, but I promise juicy and satisfying rewards if you keep pumping through this guide.

Let’s start by uncovering the “D” of systemd, the secret sauce that doesn't get the love it deserves: D-Bus.

Okay, those innuendos have to be intentional!

  1. Take a non-stop Linux box where even the kernel can be patched while it's hot
  2. Glance at d-bus sideways
  3. Now you must reboot.

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.
