NetworkManager is handy for a laptop where you want to deal with
different wifi settings and moving around among dhcp networks, but for
servers you probably don't want it to overwrite you

If you aren't moving this box around onto different networks all the
time just get rid of NetworkManager so it will stop screwing up your

Umm, yeah - now. In 1987 when perl was released you'd have been using
K&R C which needed some changes when compilers started demanding the
