Host name?

[Jesse Jarzynka]

That's crazy cuz I was just having a problem with this. I was looking
through a linux book and saw that you can change the hostname by the
command 'hostname' then after I did it I had an error from the
/etc/hosts complaining about the hostname. It didnt change that file.
The best way to change your hostname is to run neat and change it in
there I think. -Jesse
