Re: Home network with Debian
Hi,
I am not expert but I do not think there is special tool for
/etc/network. I am sure you may install one of graphical
configuration tool like linuxconf but understanding what they
really doing may be beyond our needs.
Everthing in /etc are user configurable, I think. Though I keep
all original as *.dist as reference.
The only exceptions are "update-alternatives" and "update-rc.d".
If you have 2 NICs, I recommend you to use ipmasq package.
This is prepackaged ipchain script.
Installed it and modified it to cope with my cable modem.
see:

If you are from RH, you can install printtool.
. You can get it from woody and install it in potato.
If uniprint (EPSON and CANON color printers) is needed,
apply the patch I reported to bug report.
