And Fedora (also in RH family). Not having telnet never bothered me
because "yum install telnet" (now "dnf install telnet") is obvious
enough, but for netstat, ifconfig, and route, you have to install the
"net-tools" package.
Part of the rationale for not installing net-tools by default is that
most users are expected to use the gui NetworkManager to configure
their network. The other part is that ifconfig and route are
deprecated in favor of the "ip" command, which is installed by
default. However, my fingers still are prone typing ifconfig and
route.
