sysctl -a | grep <hostname>

yum Issues
After updating a few packages on a VM FC5 system, I was then unable to use yum since a few of the repo config files had been modificed to include a '#' in front of the URL. This prevented yum from running. I think this was an attempt to get me to use a local mirror. Until I am able to get a local mirror configured, I have removed the '#' from the config files and yum works.
