Thanx Robert, so it's safe to remove NetworkManager then? I have done
For a server, yes. NetworkManager is the system deamon that works with the GNome network management applet that provides the UI to finding and connecting to things like wireless networks. It is mainly only really useful for laptops with wireless networking. It could also be used for things like Air Cards and 'hard networks' (laptops and 'roving' desktops which get pluged into different networks).
so, and will see if any issues arise. The only files that was removed is:
