> At its core, your OS is just a bunch of files

"But, you NEED to run the installer on that (bare metal) server!" Nope, I can just boot from knoppix (remember?) and mount the disk and run debootstrap on it.

Every so often I run into programmers and sysadmins that believe these things are a kind of magic. They're not. They're just files on a disk.

Love this presentation. Thank you!

edit: s/mount knoppix/boot from knoppix/

Yep, and not particularly interesting. It is a catchy title and some showcase for Systemd.

Much like docker.

I am not sure what you are talking about. I am talking about this:

"Within 9 days, all of the top 10 Linux distributions will use systemd by default, or descend from one that does." https://chimeracoder.github.io/docker-without-docker/#1

This slideshow is impossible to read on an iPad; the scrolling isn't synchronized with the width of the screen, and attempting to align a page makes it jump to another. Any solutions?

Edit: Apparently, if you don't touch-move but only tap, you can keep it for, getting out of sync.

Off topic: how do I create slides like this? What did you use to create 'em?

uses Go slide format. See: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/golang-nuts/fzr3pebUBBM/Ehat...

The link in there is to code.google.com and now defunct. After a bit of poking about:

https://github.com/golang/talks is a bunch of talks.

https://github.com/golang/tools/tree/master/cmd/present is the present command.

http://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/present is the documentation.

What they mean is when the slides were made, Debian 8 was about to be released in "stable" with systemd. With debian 8 released the only oddball is ubuntu with their own early fork of systemd called upstart. It means from this day forward the things you see in the demo are already or inevitably available on every install of linux. You don't need to install anything special to do what he's doing there.

Reveal.js is another fairly common alternative, unless you're looking for the exact visual effect (which could probably be achieved somehow). http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/

"inevitably available on every install of linux"

s/every/most.

Slackware and a few others still do not use systemd and quite possibly never will.
