Hi all.

Thank you for the replies.
On my first email, I say I didn' really checked Debian - and I know
Canonical changes a lot of things for Ubuntu.  Will  install Debian.

I use Gentoo Linux and I'm using Network-Manager - for the CLI I sometimes
use nmtui or nmcli.

I just pointed out because a new Linux user will almost definitely  use
Ubuntu or a friendly distribution - I'm not saying he or she won't change
in the future, but for learning, Ubuntu is one of the best - alongside
Fedora, for example - this is just my opinion.
These distros no longer use the /etc/network/interfaces file and I'm
guessing for the foreseeable future, others probably will follow along.

For someone starting to learn Linux (probably won't go for the LPIC-1 exam
just yet) now, it will never know that file has existed - unless he or she
will be curious and check other distributions. Probably this is the normal
way - will have to try the base distros and be proficient in more than one
.

Michael, I agree with you -

To study for LPI sometimes mean to also have a look
on other distributions to get an overall view.

Thank you all for the replies.  LPIC must be reviewed to stay relevant to
the times.
