−
−	On Linux you may also use the Explorer's host name to access it, which will allow the Explorer to change its IP address, with out you having to change it in any of your program's profile settings. On bootup in the serial console the Explorer will show its host name, near the end of the bootup output it will be Explorer-<SERIAL NUMBER>. To use the host name you'll need to add .local to the end of it, so Explorer-<SERIAL NUMBER>.local will be the host name to use when accessing the Explorer.
