   An init system is the first process (PID 1) started in a Unix like system. It handles:
 
   \begin{itemize}
-    \item Starting system processes and services
-    \item Adopting and ``reaping'' orphaned processes
+  \item Starting system processes and services to prepare environment

+\begin{frame}{Classical init systems}
+  Init systems before systemd - such as SysVinit - were very simple.

+  \begin{itemize}
+  \item Services and processes to run are organised into ``init scripts''
+  \item Scripts are linked to specific runlevels
+  \item Init system is configured to boot into a runlevel
