Re: [Evolution] Semi-OT: How to run evolution without gnome-session?

[Alberto Ruiz <aruiz redhat com>]

Guys,

Unless you want to discuss it in the context of Evolution, I'd suggest
you to find a better venue to heat up the systemd debate.

This is not the right place to have a flame war about init systems
and/or session management daemons, not even in the context of GNOME.

So I will politely suggest that you guys move this discussion somewhere
else.

Thanks.
