Hey Guys.

I know the default hostname in these distro's is localhost.localdomain

how do I permanently change it to whatever I want it to be?
 
In your /etc directory is a file called host. Open that and change there.
In resolv.conf, change the search domain to whatever your local domain is.

Click to expand...

I would just like to step in and correct that to filename "hosts".
Also be sure to edit /etc/sysconfig/network to reflect your changes.
