So I finally am trying to get something more recent up and running to replace my aging Fedora 14 desktop. I've always liked Fedora and Red Hat because I'm very comfortable with all aspects of the rpm and, until recently, I fully understood how Fedora booted and ran. Unfortunately now Fedora developers have seen fit to cast off all their traditional users and foist a newer, better system upon us. This new system is faster they say, but way more opaque. I want to try to understand it and how to work with it before I chuck the works and go to something more sane like, heaven forbid, Debian (or since I'm a wimp, Linux Mint Debian Edition).
My main goal right now is to try to get my screen resolution down to something same. It's running in a VM right now (so I don't need X11 running at this point), but the console on the VM is 1900x1200 or something. How do I change this? And for systemd itself, is there any document out there that describes the boot process now? How init calls systemd, what systemd does initially (to replace /etc/rc.sysinit), and then how it starts up services? thanks.
