Ubuntu is a linux distribution derived from debian. It's a very nice plug&play OS with all features I need.
- cat /etc/os-release
- cat /etc/lsb-release
- lsb_release -a
- Show the currently installed version. os-release has most information.
Modfications made
The few things I needed to tweak are listed here.
Disable dnsmasq
In release 14 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).
In bionic set dns=default in networkmanager.conf
