Yeah. Config differences between distros are how people stay with one distro over others.
Somewhere, ubuntu has a place to define settings for a network interface. If NetworkManager is used, it should pickup stuff like dns, default search domain(s), multiple IPs, etc.
I don't poke around with every distro anymore like I used to. Decided it was more time efficient to just get frustrated with the changes in one.
:-P
