If you install a Workstation, you will sit in front of it and if there ges something going wrong, you can interact. Installing a server over the network and having NM as default, which can not handel several NICS at startup and configre it correctly, require an expensive Remote-Hand to get the system runing again... What I do not understand is WHY the Debian Project can not do an install in two steps. I mean installing the bare base using "ifupdown" and if the user choose the Desktop-Task replace it with NM. I think, someone which want to install a server HAS the knowledge about System- Administration and does not need NM in any case.
