       Why is most CLI software so insufferable with its error messages? And why do some Linux distros not have ifconfig any more?

       @grishka > And why do some Linux distros not have ifconfig any more?Linux people ditched ifconfig in flavour of new shiny tool with IPv6 support.As I hear, they decided to write new program because adding IPv6 support to the ifconfig wasn't so easy.BTW, in the #BSD world the ifconfig is still in use and it has IPv6 support, lol.
