Funtoo

Ok, just to announce, in case anybody cares, that I am a dual resident now. I have Funtoo on my desktop (the PC I use most) and Fedora 21 in my laptop.

HowTo: Create an interface configuration with nmcli on CentOS7 and Fedora

I ran through hell today!

I tried doing things the old way. You know; edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 in order to set it to a static IP. Well, bad idea.

Well, here's a quick one.

Let's say you're creating a KVM/Qemu guest; using oz-install; and you're tired, 'cause it's 06:31 and you need some sleep.
