 The //standard// OS for the Raspberry Pi certainly is [[https://www.raspbian.org/|Raspbian]], since it is the Foundation’s official supported operating system.
-Although it allows anyone to get their RasPi up and running in no time and without a hassle, one must not forget that it's also a tool that was developed in a defined philosophy. As stated by [[https://minibianpi.wordpress.com/2013/07/04/minibian-minimal-raspbian-image-for-raspberry-pi/|MINIBIAN's creator Luca Soltoggio]], //**the [Raspberry Pi] project was born primarily to provide a low cost computer in education and in the countries in the developing world**//. This is perfectly fine, and following this logic it's perfectly understandable that since the Jessie version of Raspbian, it boots straight into the desktop GUI (version 3 of GTK+ / LXDE), see [[https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspbian-jessie-is-here/|this raspberry.org article]] which clearly states the //philosophy// that lies behind the Raspbian releases.

+Here, we use the ''manual'' setting with ''wpa-roam'', this [[http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/9257/whats-the-difference-between-wpa-roam-and-wpa-conf-in-the-etc-network-inte|stackexchange thread]] seems to imply that this configuration should suspend the WiFi when the Ethernet cable is plugged and vice-versa.
+On the contrary, using ''manual'' with ''wpa-roam'',  (this hasn't been tested by myself).
