It announces the hostname (which isn't what you get from the hostname 
shell command, btw) in the dhcp request, so if it's easier to check your 
router's dhcp table, or it it does internal dynamic dns, you can get the 
IP that way.

It doesn't do mdns hostname advertisement though. Someone should package 
avahi.

The IPHome home (desktop) applet is also useful for getting the IP 
address.
