Hi,

Currently, the grub menu has no option to display the hostname, but when 
on a dual-boot system there two systems of the same distribution it 
becomes a problem when the user is not sure which install is on which 
disk.  In my case, I had Ubuntu 16.04 and 20.04 on separate disks and 
grub just gave "Ubuntu" as the default so I had to close down the system 
and reopen the case to refresh my memory of which install was on which 
disk.  I solved the problem  by replacing

     GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`

with

     GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`cat /etc/hostname || lsb_release -i -s 2> 
/dev/null || echo Debian`

which worked well enough.

However, it seems to me that it would be a lot more useful to add a 
parameter allowing the user to display the name of the install from 
/etc/hostname.
