Re: I'm looking forward to the first edition
You do realize that you can remove Networkmanager and all its good in the world don't you?
Let me add that I can also understand that when it was new and causing issues one would want to do that, but in this day and age when it runs fine "almost" in all situations, it seems silly to me.
This comes from someone who's sole OS is Linux and has all computers (x5) at home except the server running network manager. (The server does not need a gui config tool obviously)
Just for the VPN management alone (Supports cisco IPSEC/OpenVPN/Anyconnect out of the box and well) its well worth it.
