- Network speeds do not approach a terabit even though I have a terabit switch. Current ip's are set by the supposed 100 mbit router. That could mean speeds are limited through the router. I tried to bypass this by making changes in /etc/network/interfaces. It is advertised each computers will controll their static ip, bypassing the router.
- Unfortunaly, NetworkManager requires Dhcp and erases those controlls at boot up. You can remove NetworkManager if you make the changes in /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf. The problem is that I don't know what else NetworkManager does. The instructions are at:
  liberiangeek.net Static IP In Ubuntu 10.04/10.10
  wikihow.com Static IP In Ubuntu
  yolinux.com Static IP In Ubuntu
  this computer Static IP Wireless
- Also, amd64-kubuntu has 4 nics and didn't play well. kubuntu has 2 nics and did.
