Evil Program
I like Ubuntu, I really do. But it's starting to make too many assumptions about my brain dead end user self. And you know what happens when you assume...
I hate the NetworkManager program. I use static IP addresses most of the time. This little piece of cuteness has now screwed me up on three separated occasions on multiple boxes. I know what it is now, I know to look for it, and I know it must die.
However, on a mobile machine that's hunting for wifi it's quite clever. I like it on the cloudbook. It means no static IP on the thing, but that's fine for a moble device. For the less mobile devices, with no DHCP, such "help" is unwelcome.
