I've got a linksys wireless network and I'm wondering if there is device
support for it in the linux kernel, and more realistically, if there are some
drivers out there that can make it work. Specifically, I'm hoping to find
some way to connect to the internet.

I am using a Debian Linux computer which does not have its own domain, is
behind a DSL connection and has a few users.
Would a MTA be useful to me?
I currently have /var on hdc, but want to move it to sda. I've tried mounting
the new partition as var2, copying the files, changing fstab, then rebooting,
but lots of programs complain. I'd guess it has something to do with the state
of var at the time of the copy, vs at the time of shutdown/boot.
I found stuff like this before and have been using it:
