Network Manager & Slack 14.1 Question
Hey. Just a short one. Planning on installing Slack 14.1 tommorrow, and if i install it with KDE, will network manager and nm-applet be installed by default and functioning upon boot?
Thanks!

As you long as you select network manager to configure your network during install, then yes.
Note: It is not the default, so make sure you select it.

In a full installation, Network Manager is selected by default. At least, this is my experience with Salckware64-14.1.

The nm-applet will not activate unless you enable NetworkManager's daemon.

NetworkManager's daemon will be enabled if you select Network Manager as your networking option in the install script. |

No it isn't. This sounded wrong, so I just checked. DHCP is default, see attached screenshot. |

And nm-applet is a GTK application. For KDE, you have networkmanager which is a native KDE widget, and much better than nm-applet too.
You'll have to add the "Network Management" widget manually in KDE.
