if you're anal (like me) you'll back up a copy of your old
settings before steamrolling it the debian way --
apt-get install ipmasq
once ifconfig shows proper settings (/etc/network/interfaces)
"ipmasq" is all i've ever needed. paranoids say it's not big on
tight security, but it worked forme right out of the box.

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #16 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
Why are *.rpm (RED HAT PACKAGES) considered spawn of Satan?
Because the Debian package system is a lot more sophisticated
than the one Red Hat uses; lots more inter-dependency information
is built in to a *.deb package. If you bypass that with an *.rpm
file, you're taking chances with your system. Try to "apt-get
install <debian-only>" packages if possible. (Also check out the
"alien" package if you must.)
