Sup everyone!

Well i was wondering if i can change the computers
name. I think its also called the host name. The thing
is every time i boot into RH (9), at the login screen
its says "welcome to debian"! ok i admit im a linux
n00b so i was trying out different distros. One of
them was debian. But how does RedHat know that, if
debian was on a totally different hard drive and it
was gone by the time RH was installed. Also when in
use a terminal it say "[EMAIL PROTECTED] root ]". Is there
a way to get rid of this?

Also another reason i want to change this is b/c every
time i login, when GNOME starts up i get the message:

Could not look up internet address for debian. This
will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. It may be
possible to correct the problem by adding debian to
the file /etc/hosts.

Sorry for the long question. Does anyone know a way to
"fix" this?
