Hi
I have recently booted back in to my debian system after a long time off it and when i open a terminal i am greeted with "master1@none" the problem i have is it should say "master1@celeron" i tried becoming root and just doing "hostname celeron" which only works untill i reboot the machine then i am back to square 1.Any guidance appreciated.
