It's an alternative fact, I think. I've always run ifconfig as a user using the
full path--/sbin/ifconfig (to get my ip address).
But then there's ip, which *is* in my path
ip addr
I've seen people recommending ip as a superior alternative to ifconfig.
Anyway, I'm adding nothing of extra value to the thread, as usual.
