Hey all, My name is john and I am brand new to linux. I can count the hours booted into linux in my fingers, but I got sold on the F/OSS ideal and I am going to make this work. I installed FC2 last night and when it resolves my hostname through eth0 it is some long ass nonsense that it gets dynamiclly from COMCAST. I want to change that to be a name I pick I looked through the BASH manual and through a few orielly books on tcpip, I googled and looked through some n00b forums, no luck... How do I configure my system to have a custom name that shows up on the prompt while still accepting and using the dynamic IP sent from comcast? I understand that there are considerably more critical issues that need to be adressed but I suspect that this question is trivial to many of you and can be anwsered easily. any help would be greatly appreciated.
