If you use Gnome, write "network-admin" in terminal, and configure your network
interfaces there :)
You can find this application in Gnome menus as well.

right about merging debian sources into Ubuntu - I misread something very late
last night.
I did find something that really tickles my fancy - elive - a Debian distro
using Enlightenment. I had played around with 'e' a long time ago, and liked
what I saw. For those on the list not in the know, enlightenment (or just e)
was the original theme-able, customisable do-what-you-want-with-it desktop
manager.
A question for Debian users - How do you select which wireless network to use?
I can't find anything like 'NetworkManager'?

Hi,
I'd read that while Debian is very stable, support for new devices and
new software is slow to get added .... is this true? Ubuntu is
Debian-based, but Debian-sourced packages are seldom merged into the
Ubuntu development tree....
Stable Debian is just that, pretty much unchanging for usually about 2 years
at a time. So no, new device support goes against the stable mantra. I usually
compile my own kernels and run a Debian stable base on my servers (and tv box
actually), so I upgrade the kernel when I need to for new hardware support.
As for Ubuntu, not quite sure where you get your info from, but it merges and
updates Debian sourced packages incredibly regularly. This ensures currency of
packages in addition to picking up all the security related fixes in a timely
manner. Brad (Debian unstable and Ubuntu-devel follower)
