Computer name
 

Hi all, how would i go about changing the computer name of my debian machine i set during installation?

Pretty simple: become root, then open the file /etc/hostname with an editor. Nano will do, but so do gedit and probably a lot of others as well ;) Change the contents of that file and save it. Reboot and your machine has a new name :)

Change it in the file /etc/hostname. You might also want to check /etc/hosts. Then, reboot.

You might also want to check out the man page for the command hostname for more information.
