This was fixed in ubiquity (2.3.18) maverick; urgency=low
Use dmidecode to get a more unique suffix for the hostname (LP: #628087)
I had mentioned this bug there, but this bug # was not used in the changelog.
While the main bug was about Add back the hostname entry (LP:
#628087).
**
I would suggest something the likes of ubuntu-user - perhaps a
numerical count added if a similar one is found on the network (Do a
quick search for anything named ubuntu-user then change to ubuntu-
user-0 ubuntu-user-1 etc)

The default computer name could be Computer and then a random
hexadecimal number(like an ID), like ComputerF83A323CB5. Theres
1099511627776 permutations with 10 hexadecimal numbers, thats maybe not
enough?

Well if it is the same IT person setting up multiple computers, wouldn't
you still run into the same network problem? ITguy-desktop would end
up on multiple?
Maybe one of the many commands that scans for hardware? Using some
information from that to use instead of username?
