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

[Ralf Mardorf <ralf mardorf alice-dsl net>]

Regarding to your wish to stay away from systemd:

I wasted much time with bad emotions when fighting against systemd, when
Arch Linux made the transition. Many others had similar emotions and
some of them were banned from the Arch mailing list. Don't waste your
energy in the same way, systemd will come and it's not the end of the
world.

Sure, some things, e.g. journalctl are a PITA, OTOH I don't need to
chroot, since systemd comes with a more comfortable solution:

[rocketmouse archlinux ~]$ llmount -w debi386; sudo systemd-nspawn -D /mnt/debi386
[sudo] password for rocketmouse: 
Spawning namespace container on /mnt/debi386 (console is /dev/pts/1).
Init process in the container running as PID 31159.
root debi386:~#

;).

There are pros and cons and you will become used to systemd. A
libsystem-whatever dependency even wont break you current
SysVinit/intiscripts process and it doesn't need much space on your HDD.
IMO you shouldn't care about it. JFTR, when Arch made the transition to
systemd, I wasn't cool, I behaved like a psychopath. Retrospectively it
was just wasting energy and time. I was an idiot.
