   8 <h1>Migrating from cnetworkmanager to nmcli</h1>
   9
  10 This is not meant to be a two-way comparison. I intend cnetworkmanager to
  11 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Parrot_sketch">rest</a> and
  12 <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NetworkManagerCmdline"
  13 >nmcli</a> to take its place.
