it's become pretty standard it seems

sshd needed for incoming connnections, but not outgoing;
so often not installed by default on "personal" machines
(desktops, notebooks, netbooks) - e.g. Fedora does not
by default install sshd, although it's certainly available.

/sbin/ifconfig to get to the tool

IP address needed if there isn't something adding the
machine to local DNS service so it can be resolved by name.
Since netbooks are less likely to be permanent participants
in a LAN and more likely to be "drive-by" visitors, I don't
know how much effort has been spent on that (e.g. there
isn't to me an obvious applet for setting up the hostname,
which doesn't mean there isn't one)
