systemd, a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts, that provides aggressive parallelization capabilities and uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, is now at version 203.
systemd 203 has been released with a fair amount of changes, but there is nothing out of the ordinary.

systemd 201 has followed rather quickly after the previous major milestone, and it only brings a limited number of changes.

openSUSE 12.1 features systemd as a replacement for the System V init daemon. systemd provides a new and improved way of booting up your system and managing services. It comes with many new features like socket and dbus-activation, use of cgroups (control groups) and aggressive parallelization capabilities which leads to a faster boot-up of the system.
I was testing Fedora 16 mostly to check the new features. One thing that caught my eye as a systems admin is the systemd which is incorporated in Fedora for quite a while now.
From the first look of it, this appears more close to Solaris's SMF. With parallelization capabilities, advanced dependency resolution and many more, it's promising to provide faster boot and quick loading of services.
Recently I moved from init scripts to systemd. The available guide ensured a smooth transition.Nobody got harmed in the process.But: booting is slower since then. As can be seen below, I'm waiting quite some time for the mysqld and wicd daemons.
