Careful, this is prime flame-war material.

systemd is an init system plus various other tools/infrastructure for managing a system.




To be somewhat pedantic systems is an init system, but under the umbrella project of systemd, you'll find bootloaders, DNS resolvers, log forwarders, DHCP clients, network configuration tools, login session managers, the whole lot. Almost all of these components are independent of the init system, but integrate very well with it.
