At work I live behind a SOCKS firewall that will allow me to use HTTP and
FTP
by using the SOCKS proxy. Xan I set teh debian machine up to allow
apt-get'ing
things this way?
If so, how.

What does "SOCKS" stand for?? And how do you set the $SOCKS
environmental variable? I need to do that at work to connect my
machine there to the net. Otherwise, when I start Netscape under
Linux, I get error message about SOCKS. Thanks in advance....
