For configuring daemons (background services) install rcconf with:

  apt-get install rcconf

and use it then with:

  rcconf

For network setup, there is a front end for it somewhere, but I just 
edit /etc/network/interfaces manually; it's not very complex, and man 
interfaces will help if you're stuck.  It even gives examples that'll 
probably suit you.

apt-get install squid, and then set your browser to its port (3128, iirc)
