How to see IP Address of a system in Linux?

Write following command on command line:

$ /sbin/ifconfig/

As soon as you enter, you will se following on the screen:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:25:64:ba:67:2d 
          inet addr:192.168.29.231  Bcast:192.168.29.255  Mask:255.255.255.192
