When somone refers to me as a dinosaur I would also be a little offended. Hence, I understand Chad's reaction to that statement of yours. If your read his posts carefully you have to admid they are well thought of, at least that's my feeling. Mind you, I might have hold myself back of what Chad said (uou stupid asshole). I would like to think I would have controlled my anger ;-) > A fellow poster, Bruce Cran made a reference to the Windows registry. > Although he was quite correct in his remarks, you choose to belittle > his contribution. That might be true. But I can't see how digging in Windows registry can be compared by editing a few simple textfiles the way UNIX had always worked. Althoudh the network settings might actually be in this registry setting it simply is not the same as a /etc/network file. Or on freebsd a etc/rc.conf > You have serious mental health issues Chad. Get help! This might also be taken offensively. You are no shrink. why make such remarks. Let's stop this tone of arguments please. And going back on the subject of network managers I have to agree I too hate these tools from the moment they took over the manual way of setting things. Even good old solaris now has this on by *default*. Horrible (imho).
