    Hi everybody,

    I just completed a switch from 5 years of Mandrake to Debian
    GNU/Linux. The install went well, although I had to use a couple of
    tricks to configure X and my soundcard. I now have to basic
    questions:

    1) during my install I was not connected to the Internet (I had
    ordered the 14 Debian CDs from budgetlinuxcds) and I therefore did not
    configure my network card. Now I would like to connect my computer to
    the rest of my computers on a home network. What would you reccommend
    as the best application to do this?

    2) I vaguely remember hearing that there were some disagreements
    between the Debian team and Richard Stallman but I do not remember
    what caused it. Could anyone point me to the right place to read up
    on this?

    Many thanks,

    VS
