====== Ubuntu - GUID - Generate a GUID ======

A GUID (Global Unique ID), also known as UUID (Universally Unique ID), can be generated by **uuidgen** which should be installed by default.

<code bash>
uuidgen
</code>

A unique ID is created using your MAC address amongst others.

It looks like **8AF8EEEC-3472-48B0-A74B-B2B3820EA6FE**.
