Systemd

Systemd feature

It allows to defer the start of daemons until the deamon is needed for accepting an incomming network connection. It is also able to manage file system tasks. Using control groups (a Linux feature) it allows to handle all processes related to a particular feature together. In the future it will also act as session manager. It will speed up boot, but more work is needed to reap the full benefits.

No manual ordering of features is needed, the kernel does the ordering automatically.
