The first step is getting rid of that ASCII-art .sig. Cute dog.
Save it for alt.fan.warlord, where such an animal can be appreciated.
Now, how to change the hostname of your system? Easiest? Check the
/etc/sysconfig/network file. Adjust the value of HOSTNAME, creating
it if not already there, and reboot.
One last thing - don't name a machine with a mixed-case name - it's tacky.
Check your /etc/hosts file too to make sure you've cleaned up all the
cruft...
