OK Great ! :) The only problem is that is has to remain compatible with debian,
otherwise all debian-daemons won't work :( So either debian has to accept some
alternative init system, either we are limited to hacking on the current one...

Great ! I didn't hear about it before. I tried to install the network-manager
but I had no more connection straight after installing it, so I guess I'll see
