Get to know apt and dpkg. apt-get is your friend. If you liked rpm, you'll LOVE the dpkg/apt-get combo. I don't know of any actual configuration suites except maybe webmin (I'm pretty sure it's available for Debian) or possibly linuxconf. To be honest, I'm more reliant on debconf doing the major work at package install time and then doing the fine tuning in the config files by hand. Good luck, and don't hesitate to ask if you run into trouble. Chris Hilts [EMAIL PROTECTED]
