SOLVED
In Microsoft Windows the DNS servers can be changed to the users choice without messing with DHCP. In Ubuntu the DNS servers are locked to DHCP and DHCP itself is locked to Network Manager. I really lament the lack of a GUI for specifying the DNS servers without touching any other network setting. Oh sure you can edit the DHCP3 config files and all but I really think a proper way for Ubuntu would be a GUI. Is there some method that one can use to request a usability enhancement? Please Ubuntu developers make the DNS settings separate.
