+ There are three separate classes of hostnames in use on a given system. The pretty hostname is the high level hostname often presented to users by their desktop environment or shell. The static hostname is used by the kernel at boot, and is usually the system's fully qualified domain name. A system may also have a transient hostname assigned by a dhcp server. hostnamectl is provided for administering these hostnames. For more information on hostnames, see man <emphasis role="bold">hostname</emphasis> and man <emphasis role="bold">hostnamectl</emphasis>.
