What I mean is in Windows you can go to the start menu and hit search and type in a computer name and be able to find a list of computers with that phrase in their name. For instance lets say I want to find all computers on my network with the name server in the computer name. In Windows, I go to Start-Search-Type in server and click on find and it displays a list of all computers on my network with that phrase in its name.

I would like to know if Linux has any equivalent to this? Either by command-line or gui.

Thanks!

what you want. Check there first.

Is there a way in Linux to find computers like you can in Windows using
search?
