Hello,
I had noticed that there is an entry called UUID in the
network configuration file in newer Fedora distros; this UUID entry
did not exists on older distros.
My question is: for what is this entry? what will happen if I will
comment it?
I am talking about /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
configuration file, which contains a UUID like this:
UUID=5fb06bd1-0bb0-7ffb-45f1-d6edd65f3e11

rgs,
Mark

You lack the ability to go to google and type "UUID" into the search field?

You lack the ability to communicate normally with somebody and be polite?

And you lack to ability to read, because that was not the only question the OP
asked.
