Change 2 files, /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname. Open as Administrator.
In /etc/hostname just change the name. In /etc/hosts change the line 127.0.1.1  youroldname to 127.0.1.1  yournewname
Make sure the new name in each file is identical. Reboot to complete.
Download your free copy of Linux Lite today.
