#1 Re: Do You Use The Latest Tools? Posted by Steve (62.30.xx.xx) on Tue 17 Apr 2007 at 22:24 I think it depends very much upon the tool. For example I'm often corrected when I refer to depreciated tools such as ifconfig. I am trying to make it a habit to use ip in preference these days, but it has proved pretty hard to get myself to switch. If I don't actively think "I need to bring up a new interface with ip" then my fingers type ifconfig before I've realised! There aren't that many new tools that I've actively switched to, I guess xmms2 is the only one that comes to mind. It is a shame that many guides haven't been updated to take advantage of using Etch properly - but to be honest I've been very disappointed by Sarge-specific guides in the past in much the same way. (Though I'm sure peoples intentions are good; I'd rather have no documentation than some of the "perfect setup" guides which seem to be commonly recommended ..) Steve
