Hostname of computer

Currently I guess my Host name is just localhost@localdomain. It serves its purpose as I can access it from across the lan but is it recommended to change this to something else.

The reason I am asking is because I am going to instal wbmin RPM and I want every thing setup corrects before I install it.

Please tell me if I should change this, if so how

I am still doing everything as root. I know its not proper so tell me how to change this

Regarding webmin, what should I change before I install it

Hostname is just the name of your computer. There is nothing related to the setup.

cheers
