OK, that's one approach. My approach was slightly different. The order
of the categories I had was not the order I would teach/write about.
But was the way I tend to group things. I think that's what this is
about. (See below)

Looking over the above, we have different approaches to how we group
tasks.
Note that my categories weren't in a teachable/writable order. That
would have to be rearranged, but that wasn't the task (as I saw it).
Just to logically group things.
I wrestled with some items a little. For example, automount. You have
that under kernel-based or basic service daemons, but then have NFS
under stand-alone daemons. Automount is related to NFS, and both
require portmapper to register. I tend to leave discussions of
automount to when I discuss NFS (after intoducing portmap).
I tend to look at things from a perspective of how they work and what
they're related to technically rather than from a more esoteric grouping
(such as your categories appear to be).
Not better, just different.
