MAYBE ONE MORE

Some time around the release of Debian 9 I'm going to make a "Luke Skywalker Edition" with select components (primarily the graphics stack) compiled from source. That means you'll have to download updates to things like Xorg as source too, so if you've never done ./configure, make and sudo make install then R2 is still the final version for you. I might even try to compile systemd and udev with the stoopid interface renaming code removed. ;)

And for what it's worth, if the over-edjumacated idjuts who are making decisions these days wanted interface names to be MORE intelligent/logical instead of LESS, they'd start numbering them from one. So your first Ethernet interface would be eth1 not eth0. Zero is only a real number to a computer. People don't count that way.
