Note.png
This article doesn't aim production. This is my playground during the process of creating an article.
The subject is: NetworkManager. The goal is: provide a simple article that highlights it's features, going as much non-technical as possible. The means are: Interviews and imagination.

NetworkManager

NetworkManager is an utility that aims to simplify the usage of computer networks in Linux and other UNIX like Operative Systems. NetworkManager has two components: a service that manages networks and reports network changes and a graphical desktop applet that provides a easy interface to manipulate networks. Current stable version is 0.8.0.

Background History

NetworkManager was started by Red Hat Inc. Engineers in 2004 aiming to provide a tool that would allow users to manage computer networks and answering their needs, specially for Wireless Networks. (...)

Screen shots

Here go some screenshots. I've taken them on Fedora12 using the Fedora Theme. Those are the screens I might find important, there's no personal information of any kind expect the SSID in some pictures (which really don't care).
Those probably will get redone in a final stage for perfect cropping. Anyway the base on this is to get feedback from everyone who wants to give some in order for the final release to be more accurate. This is not "production" level work.
