Network Manager integrates better with the desktop and seems easier to configure (for example, to configure a VPN). I'm not sure about the features the traditional method provides and Network Manager does not, so please, discuss. + Discussion: + #1: Ilya Chernykh (ansus) (2010-06-27 08:57:27) + Bad idea. + 1. Network manager cannot restore VPN connections on startup (many + users connect Internet through VPN) + 2. Network manager does not remember routes correctly + 3. Network manager is compatible with only limited number of desktop + environments + 4. Network manager does not keep connection when exiting the session + and logging in another desktop. + - Many other drawbacks. The SUSE standard ifup- based system the most + functional of any other variants so far and easily configured. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310004
