Overview of the bootprocess under systemd:
http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/bootup.html
Some info about old- and new-style daemons:
http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/daemon.html
Some general info about the systemd daemon:
http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/systemd.html
Lots and lots of man-pages documenting every little part of systemd:
http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/

More info about systemd, including links to Lennart's blogs, which
explain things in a more understandable way than the man-pages:

can. My comment was aimed at those who pretend to know without doing
their research.
