People make mistakes like this all the time. Obviously he meant to type cat /etc/hostname

  It should be to run the `hostname` command, nothing more.

    That is pretty cool! I don't think I've ever come across that. Thanks!

    Nice. Didn't know about this.

      Ironically that command is used to set the hostname but not read it. Next you'll tell me you don't even know what `uname` does!

        Everyone is learning something here, no need to insult someone because they might not know something you know. I bet you don't know something he knows.

          No room for a bit of sarcasm or smarmy, now is there?
