OK, I can settle for 'most widely installed on Open Source platforms'
or something.  Recommend something ...

I'm sorry, I don't see any existing use of <hostname> in any of
the articles or books, please advise expected use?

No, it's shorthand for freedesktop.org, as mentioned earlier in the
text.  But I think I should remove all references to it, it just confuses
everyone.

Otherwise, I can go ahead and do all that.  I did kind of rush it in
with insufficient review, but the question is getting asked about
every 3 days, maximum, and so _some_ text needed to go in.
