I seem to recall that the redhat-config-network app. suggests
rebooting when changing host names. I haven't used it in a while, so
maybe it doesn't anymore? [shrug] Anyway, if it does, then you
should send your rant to the redhat-config-network app. developers as
well.
Agreed. The message is actually "You may want to restart your network
and network services or reboot your machine". Perhaps, in keeping with
other items, there needs to be an "apply" button, or similar [ie, what
is on say, the redhat-printer-config panel], such that the changes are
more than saved, they are applied. So, if there are any fedora
developers out there.... Of course, this should (IMO) go into a basic
UI design document for all of fedora "after market" tools.
Just my opinion, of course..
