It's good to see that that's come back to life, it had a worrying hiatus 
a couple of years ago.

In any event, watch out for distreaux which mandate systemd and 
NetworkManager. I normally disable the latter but a few weeks ago 
something happened which made me suspect that recent KDEs don't like 
that (full disclosure: I think that was on Debian Jessie on an RPi2, and 
in this case I /mean/ Debian not Raspbian).
