Dear Debian Friends: I am working on converting several machines running W95 to a Debian system running Helix-Gnome. My plan is to use Samba to talk to the existing NT server. However, I am unsure as to what the best tool is for
network configuration. Some Linux distributions use linuxconf or netcfg. Is there such a tool in Debian? Or should I just edit the network, hosts, and ifconfig files? Also, I often find it necessary to use ctrl-alt-f1 to open a virtual terminal and do some work. I can never get back to the Gnome desktop. Any way to do that without shutting down X? I very much appreciate any suggestions! Robert
