I don't know first hand: I use systemd in my desktop and laptop machines, a media center, and a couple of servers. However, ProFUSION (http://profusion.mobi/) is a company specialized in embedded systems, and they are huge supporters (and contributors) of systemd. I hear the embedded guys in general like a lot the idea of systemd. > How does systemd work with a system that uses SElinux? I don't use SELinux: however, the first distribution that shipped systemd by default (Fedora) uses SELinux also by default, so I would *think* it works. But again, I don't use it. > How well does a group of (systemd) systems work > with a wide deployment of a distributed file system, > such as BTRFS? No idea. I personally use ext4, and I'm not looking forward to move my systems to btrfs. > Just curious if you know about any of these areas related > to systemd. Not really; I think my use cases are pretty simple and common. But if you are interested in systemd, I think you should try it first in simple setups, and certainly as provided by the Gentoo devs. My overlay is for people like me, who already use systemd (in quite common setups), and who would like to experiment a system without OpenRC just for the "fun" of trying something new, inestable, and potentially dangerous.
