And to start less! using socket activation (an idea from launchd on OS
X, oh well, I guess it's good for something!) for on demand daemon

I'm sure it's not lost on some people on this list, that Fedora

interesting in that it make uses of various Linux kernel specific
features such as cgroups, IO priorities and CPU affinity.
