I have a desktop computer at home running RH 7.2. I connect to the net using rp3 by means of a modem connection (no LAN, WAN, not even a network card on this box). In my consoles and prompts I get "localhost.localdomain", which I would like to change to other text, i.e., "naming" my computer.
How can I do this?

Displaying "computer's name" rather than "localhost.localdomain" has nothing but an esthetic meaning to me.

Thanks a lot,
