This 'dust' relates to quite a few topics: 101.1 Determine and configure hardware settings - 2 Conceptual understanding of sysfs, udev, hald, dbus. 101.2 Boot the system - 3 Demonstrate knowledge of the boot sequence from BIOS to boot completion. Check boot events in the log files. 101.3 Change runlevels and shutdown or reboot system - 3 Set the default run level. Change between run levels including single user mode. Knowledge of basic features of systemd and Upstart. 104.3 Control mounting and unmounting of filesystems - 3 Configure filesystem mounting on bootup. 106.2 Setup a display manager - 2 /etc/inittab 107.2 Automate system administration tasks by scheduling jobs - 4 Manage cron and at jobs. Configure user access to cron and at services. 107.3 Localisation and internationalisation - 3 Locale settings. Timezone settings. 108.1 Maintain system time - 3 Set the system date and time. Set the hardware clock to the correct time in UTC. Configure the correct timezone. 108.2 System logging - 2 syslog configuration files. syslog. standard facilities, priorities and actions. 109.2 Basic network configuration - 4 Manually and automatically configure network interfaces. I consider this more than only dust. We really have to face the question: do we want to cover this in the next version, or not. I think we have to. If so, we'll need good timing ... As I've allready tried to point out, in my opinion the first step should be to decide whether we want to cover systemd (more) or not. At the moment, no enterprise linux ships systemd per default. So I'd say we can safely ignore it for another 2 years. But I'd say, after that we should cover it. If we cover it, it lpic1 topics that sum up to 25 weight points will be influenced. So, how do we proceed: integrate systemd now or later? Opinions, anyone? Ingo Ingo -- Linuxhotel GmbH, Geschäftsführer Dipl.-Ing.
