I'd have to say that every time I had to/wanted to use Debian systems, I had this kind

really recommend you to try PCLinuxOS or Mageia. They comes with tons of easy to use
administration and networking tools. And they works with any desktop environment you want
to use, even small window managers.
No need to know by heart console lines to write to do ... things.

I use squeese. nm-applet is from the
network-manager-applet package,
The problem is making it work on Wheezy. I suppose I could go back to
Squeeze, but it seems better to put new installs on XFCE for now, if it
comes to that. XFCE has a really good network applet, and most users don't
really notice the difference as long as everything they need works.
