NM is a daemon for managing network connections, particularly ones like wireless or 3G that are routinely started and stopped by desktop users.

It's the new file manager, replacing Konqueror as the default. Konqueror is still there for those who want a power tool, but Dolphin is the friendly option for 'normal' desktop users. Simon.
