Edit your enviroment variable for "PS1" which is normaly found in one of the
following;
/etc/profile
bashrc
bash_profile
Its a distribution indipendant file.
For example you could produce a prompt like
pa3gcu$ Cmd>
With;
PS1="\W\\$ Cmd> "
That way there is no need to change the system "hostname" or as you call it,
computer name.
