[SOLVED] Change Hostname
#2
Hello!

Changing the hostname involves editing the /etc/hostname file. In a terminal window [CTRL-ALT-T], type the following:

Code:
sudo leafpad /etc/hostname

When prompted, enter the root password. This will open the file you need to edit in the text editor, Leafpad.

Change the hostname to what you want it to be, save the new file, and reboot. When you open the terminal window again, you should see the new hostname displayed...
