Hi Fabian,

I agree with most of your observations, but I come to different
conclusions in the following details:

good idea!

Sounds like a good plan.

Definitely.

good idea.

I don't see netplan beeing that widespread.

In my opinion, 109.2 is a mess. Whats the point of having /etc/hostname,
/etc/hosts and /etc/nsswitch.conf in there?

On the other hand: why is there no reference to dhcpclient in there?

I'd prefer if we use the opportunity and give the topic a clean structure:

109.1 Fundamentals of internet protocols
109.2 Persistent network configuration
ifup
ifdown
NetworkManager
nmcli
/etc/resolv.conf
hostnamectl
Awareness of systemd-networkd

109.3 Basic network troubleshooting
(please remove references to DNS here)

109.4 Configure client side DNS

That way, we can even keep /etc/resolv.conf in 109.2 ;-)

Ingo
