Cool. Tell me about this oem-config script. How does one run it? I did a search for it and sounds like a great idea. It didn't, however, tell how to use it. Would I install it with sudo apt-get oem-config? Then launch it in Terminal w/ sudo oem-config? What info besides network info would I need handy? I couldn't find useful info in the wiki?
