    Ubuntu 7.04 & Fedora 7

    Hi all
    I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 & Fedora 7.
    As I name my systems so that I can keep track of them, I want to name the Linux boxes.On Ubuntu, this was easy as it asks for the name on installation.However, on Fedora 7, it shows up as localhost.localdomain.As I'm a total nooby on Linux, I'm unaware of how to approach this.I want the name to show NET5-3200. How do I go about this?Advice would be much appreciated,
    Thanks a lot!!

    Edit /etc/hosts file and change the 127.0.0.1 entry.
    Run the command 'hostname <newhostname>' next.
