Ubuntu is a linux distribution derived from debian. It's a very nice plug&play OS with all features I need. The few things I needed to tweak are listed here.
Disable dnsmasq
The NetworkManager by default starts dnsmasq that makes your system act as forwarding DNS-server (127.0.1.1 in /etc/resolv.conf). This local server sometimes is not working properly so disable it.
In /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf comment out the line: "dns=dnsmasq" /etc/resolv.conf will now show the DNS-server(s) provided by DCHP (if you use that).
