What happens if a debian user types 'ifconfig' to find his IP address?

If the goal here is "provide users with an easy way to find their ip
address", I don't think changing how one calls an arcane command like
ifconfig is really the solution. Instead, there should be a shell script
named something like "myip", which will then just return that.
If Fedora's supposed target is a "regular desktop user" they will want
to use Network Manager to find their IP address. Right click on
NM-applet and Show Info. Done.
