leftyfbI'll be honest, I only transitioned after xenial :)16:54
leftyfbthe output of ifconfig IS a lot easier to read16:55
leftyfbhell, just spacing the interfaces out would be an improvement 16:56
leftyfband TIL of -br. That's a lot nicer if all you're looking for is an ip16:59
JanC:)16:59

daftykinsfrankly the loss of ifconfig was not progression imo20:48
daftykinsi no longer know how to statically address an interface after bringing it up via CLI - and this is a crying shame20:48
Bashing-omdaftykins: It's now ' ip ' to take the place of ifconfig .20:53
