+systemd is a system and service manager that runs as PID 1 and starts
+the rest of the system. It provides aggressive parallelization
 capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services,
 offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using

+Linux control groups, maintains mount and automount points, and
+implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control
+logic. systemd supports SysV and LSB init scripts and works as a
+replacement for sysvinit. Other parts of this package are a logging daemon,
+utilities to control basic system configuration like the hostname,
+date, locale, maintain a list of logged-in users and running
+containers and virtual machines, system accounts, runtime directories
+and settings, and daemons to manage simple network configuration,
+network time synchronization, log forwarding, and name resolution.
