True. However, systemd is also not Debian-specific, and just like I 
never covered specifics of the Linux kernel or GNU utilities, I am 
no sure how much of systemd would actually have its place in this 
book.

That said, there's a lot of coverage of `init.d` and related Debian 
hacks, such as `update-rc.d`, which are now no longer really 
relevant.

So yeah, the book is ancient, no irrelevant, but I've also moved on 
with life and won't have the time to write an updated version. If 
anyone cared enough to do so, I'd happily put you in touch with Open 
Source Press (the original publisher) and/or NoStarch.

Take care,
