Getting systemd Running?

I'd like to get a head start on systemd. This should allow me up to two years of uninterrupted usage before I have to migrate everything over to their next brilliant idea.

Any HOWTO's?

Will Gentoo be moving over to systemd? Though they will be one with udev, is this the way all linuxes will have to go?
Kind of annoying that recently Gentoo switched to baselayout2/openrc and now to systemd...?

I'd probably download fedora to figure this out before mucking a Gentoo system...

systemd can be installed alongside with standard init system, so you do not muck the system in any way,

you just need a separate bootloader entry with init=/sbin/systemd (or wherever it is located now).

i've tested it briefly, works fine.

for best experience, use systemd overlay.

This is crazy. It automatically starts services for you. I told it to stop NetworkManager, and it did, only to later start it again because nm-client (evidently) made some kind of request to it. If you want to keep something stopped, you have to "disable" it.

I'm trying to get PulseAudio and NetworkManager working.
