Oh yes, we are in the process of updating the article. We will identify all tools that need to be removed from here. Thanks for the useful feedback once again.

In reply to Aaron Kili. Then maybe this would make sense to do the same for the netstat section. You said in the article "Note: Although Netstat is a great tool, it is now obsolete (deprecated), its replacement is ss command which is explained below". And maybe add a small sentence saying that ifconfig and netstate are deprecated and give link to your past articles on those commands.

Okay, thanks for writing back, we will remove the ifconfig section.

About `ifconfig` you mentioned. > Note: Although ifconfig is a great tool, it is now obsolete (deprecated), its replacement is IP command which is explained below. Maybe it would be better to remove the ifconfig section? Because an old-time Linux user would probably know well about ifconfig anyway. Or if you think it is still useful to document about ifconfig, place the section AFTER `ip address` command + add the deprecation warning right before you begin to explain about ifconfig?
