Details
Whether you run your Oracle Linux system headless or with a desktop environment, you will eventually need to configure the host name and locale for the system. The host name is simply a unique label or name assigned to a computer or device on a network, allowing it to be easily identified and distinguished from other devices. In comparison, the locale setting lets you specify the language for system settings and user interfaces.
