   Well I stick to PIOS simple because it is the documented standard.   
   Networking is handled by the Network Manager and it gets tricky to set   
   that up without a console screen/keyboard at least - but there is a   
   great utility called nmcli I think that 'does everything' once you have   
   learnt its magic spells.   
      
   And it knows which underlying files to frig with. And gets the syntax right.   
      
   To be honest although it is possible to do everything over ssh, the   
   chances of losing connectivity while messing with the network are high   
   and a HDMI screen and a USB keyboard are not hard to rig up with the   
   appropiate adapters.
