Correct.
Package
'net-tools' is installed so you have ifconfig if needed. This is the same
for all current Debian releases.
Incorrect. net-tools is deprecated, and not installed by default in
stretch. iproute2 is installed by default.
Of course, if you simply configure your network by editing
/etc/network/interfaces and running ifdown/ifup commands (or rebooting),
then you wouldn't know or care which network tool package is installed.
I was thinking net-tools gave us ifconfig. So Greg what package pulls
in the things we need for internet? I know its not network-manager.
Thanks,
