Right, now *this* one I see as a strong selling point -- but it's selling
more to the system developers than to sysadmins (and, presumably,
enterprise Linux customers, if that's on anyone's mind...).
It is also helpful for users, e.g. I use my notebook sometimes in places where
it gets a dynamic ip address, sometimes where it has its static ip address.
Here it would also be nice to have only one tool that can handle both instead
of two that can handle only some parts.
