Would be great. Also if someone take the time to offer a kind of cheat sheet obsolete command -> new way (at least for those who don't know)

And make noise about it.

Actually I would go one step further and install scripts instead of the old commands explaining the new usage - not calling the new commands, but explaining them. And I wouldn't be surprised if other distributions already have them ;)

E.g. make use of 'command-not-found' / 'cnf' in bash to give a useful output.

Apropos scripts, 'ifconfig' without parameters was a nice and fast way to see all the interfaces and their config in a reliable and human readable way. It will be the command I'll miss the most.

For most purposes, "ip addr" does the same, I'm only missing the packet and error counters. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.6°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
