I'm not sure is it 100% correct, but my knowledge may be outdated. Both macOS and Ubuntu asks for first user during the installation. Then both suggest hostname, created by combining entered user name and form factor of machine being installed. Ubuntu even incorporates specific model name, read from DMI data. Thus, macOS and Ubuntu on my laptop would suggest hostnames as “tomasz-laptop” or “tomasz-thinkpad-t400”. -- Tomasz Torcz Morality must always be based on practicality. xmpp: [email protected] -- Baron Vladimir Harkonnen _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
