Getting IP Address Of Your LINUX Server

I recently wanted to get the IP address of my Linux server. I thought there might be a more elegant way of getting this information than starting LinuxConf. I searched the internet and found out that you can get the IP address at the terminal window by typing “ifconfig”. This returns a lot of other networking information and information about your network card. Quick note, if you type in “ifconfig” and you get something like “Command Cannot Be Found”–you will have to locate this utility with the “whereis” command. Look in the man pages for specific syntax.
