   BookWORM screwed it all up - and not JUST the
   networking stuff.

   Some months ago I posted some templates for the new,
   pointless, annoying, networking defs.

   I think Deb is now employing Canonical REJECTS who
   have totally screwed up the distro to ZERO advantage.

   On other units I've switched to Manjaro - but, to
   date, there's no Manjaro for the P5. Depending on
   what options you need, I'd suggest BeeLink and BMax
   mini-boxes instead of PIs.

   The trashing of Debian is BAD ... as it's used as
   the foundation for SO many other (formerly) useful
   distros.

   If you have a P4 or below you can still get older
   versions of Deb/PiOS ... but the P5 won't work
   with those.
