I believe you should run system-config-network (or select "Network" in "System Settings" in order to change host names. But I also would like to know why fully qualified domain names do not get set in one place, and for that matter, do not get set during installation. Even *Debian* manages to set host and domain names during installation (well, when installing their testing branch, anyway). Why can't Fedora? Sorry, but for those of us who run more than one computer on a network, "localhost.localdomain" doesn't cut it anymore, if it ever did.
