There are various distributions of Linux operating systems.  You can identify the MAC address for most distributions by performing the following:

  1. Open a terminal window
  2. type ifconfig -a (user account with elevated permissions is most likely required)
  3. From the displayed information, locate eth0, eth1, etc
  4. Locate the number next to the HWaddr.  This is the MAC address of the system
    Example "ifconfig -a" output:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:F7:1B:9C:07
          inet addr:192.168.125.205  Bcast:192.168.111.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
