Dear Gentoo Devs, |

Hello, my name is Irvin Choi I am student from Dwight School Seoul, and I |
| 4 |
am writing a extended essay within IB (ibo.org) curriculum research paper |
| 5 |
about systemd, service manager for Linux/GNU operating system. There are |
| 6 |
few questions that I would like to ask to broaden my understanding |
| 7 |
regarding systemd, and I would like to kindly ask you to answer them to |
| 8 |
best of your ability. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
It is very important for my research paper, as the research paper plays |
| 11 |
huge role in my high school curriculum and possibly my future. I would like |
| 12 |
to mention that, I may use your questions on the research paper for |
| 13 |
credibility purposes. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Here are the questions (please consider explaining your answers and avoid |
| 16 |
short answers): |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
1) Who are you and what do you do for the community? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
2) What do you think of the systemd as a service manager? Do you have an |
| 21 |
opinion about its pros and cons? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
3) What do you think users of the distribution thinks about the systemd? Do |
| 24 |
you think they favor systemd? If not, why so? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
4) Through my research, I was able to see that there are existing service |
| 27 |
managers such as upstart, sysvinit, and others. Why did systemd become the |
| 28 |
standard over the others in most of the distributions? Was it worth the |
| 29 |
replacement of existing service manager that is seen to be reliable? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
5) What changes that do you think systemd should make to improve itself? |
| 32 |
For instance, ‘typing systemctl everytime is bothersome. Systemd should |
| 33 |
shorten it to sctl instead.) |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
6) There are lots of Linux/GNU users across the world. To what users are |
| 36 |
systemd intended for? Do you think systemd is useful for the servers |
| 37 |
administrators, desktop users, laptop users, or others? |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
7) I’ve heard that there are lots of debate about systemd and it really got |
| 40 |
heated at one point, involving personal opinions, politics, and others. |
| 41 |
What was the cause and how did it get resolved (if at all)? |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
8) Is there anything else you would like to tell me about systemd? |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Thank you very much time.. It means a lot for me, as I am really interested |
| 46 |
in Linux/GNU system, and this became the opportunity to broaden my |
| 47 |
understanding. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Have a great day. |
