Because you must be root to change your network settings.

If you just want to look at ifconfig's output, it's just that it's not in
your $PATH, but in /sbin.

Take a look at 'man interfaces' and 'man ifup'. Your user should also be in
the group 'netdev', I think (which is already the case if you're using the
user which was created at install time).

You /may/ use sudo, but first sudo is not installed by default on debian,
and second, once installed, see 'man sudoers'.

No problem, but these problems are not specific to powerpc, so I think your
messages would be more approriate on debian-user or something like that (or
by looking at debian manuals, or google, or .... there's a lot of stuff
online about that kind of "problem").
And please avoid posting several times your message, too ...
