Hi debianites,
I am a complete beginner with Debian and need a little help to get
going. Specifically, I wonder how you configure the system (not
installed software), things like the network, users, logging etc.
Coming from BSD where a lot of things are in .conf files under /etc I
have a problem understanding where Linux puts stuff.
For instance: When I installed the system the installer choose DHCP
configuration without asking - I need a fixed IP. Looking in /etc, I
see /etc/network/iface, is it here I fix that? Or is there some
central utility that writes out conf files? What is the syntax for
this file?
man iface
man network
gives me nothing.
This is Linux debian 2.6.18-4-686 #1 SMP, command line only (server
enviroment).
Thanks a lot!

man interfaces should give you more info.
Interface information is usually kept in /etc/network/interfaces though,
so, I'm a little confused as to the iface, so hopefully that manpage
will be there.
Sorry, my error, it was *interfaces*.
Where except on the local machine can I find Debian man pages?
http://manpages.debian.net/
is not very informative I'm afraid...
