The file of interest is /etc/network/interfaces, an example would be:
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
This file contains bindings for loopback and an ethernet card. When
using two cards, just use a second entry for eth1 with diff. IP address.

The packages are .deb, the packager is dpkg, but u mostly use its
frondends apt-get (e.g. apt-get install binutils) or dselect (a more
"graphical" frontend).

Of course you can! I am doing it all the time with the 2.4 series, works
great.

The scripts reside in /etc/init.d, the dirs /etc/rc1.d ... contain
symlinks to those in /etc/init.d; distinguished by numerical order and
mode (start or kill service).
