Is "aptitude" a CentOS command? Gentoo? Ubuntu only?

timezone in a static networking script? and US only?
rm and touch are redundant if you do cat >
hostname should be taken out of fqdn automatically:
HOSTNAME=`echo $HOSTNAME_FQDN | awk -F"." '{print $1}'`

The "for Ubuntu Web Server" in the very first comment of the script seems pretty clear to me…
That said, I'm not sure that this script is the greatest idea. A static IP setup requires you to merely update a few config files, not to update packages or uninstall dhcpcd or install bind…
