First pre-release version of Fedora 14 (The H)
Kara Schiltz forwarded[1] an article discussing innovations in Fedora 14 alpha:
"The Fedora Project has released the first and only alpha version of its Fedora 14 Linux distribution, code named "Laughlin". . . The most profound change is a behind the scenes switch to systemd[2], an alternative to sysvinit and upstart released in May. Lately Fedora has been using upstart to launch the system and services, but has continued to use sysvinit scripts. The current state of systemd development and background information on the state of integration into Fedora is summarised by Lennart Poettering, the main developer behind systemd, in a post on his blog [3]. In discussions on systemd on LWN-net, he has stated[4] that faster booting is just one of many objectives for systemd – some systems boot significantly faster with systemd, whereas others see little difference."
