Hey,
You know how, when Linux boots, just before the GUI login screen
appears, you see the console and it looks like
localhost.localdomain:
It just sits there briefly and then goes to the GUI login screen.
Well, this is how it looked for me until just barely. Now it looks like
computer_name:
Is there any way to get this back to being localhost.localdomain?
Also, how do I get to the GUI from the console?

I don't know about the computer_name deal, is that what you named it at
some point? As for getting to the GUI from console, startx works,
startkde also works if you are using KDE. And I think (and don't quote
me) gdm will start gnome, although I've never done that before since
I've used KDE almost exclusively the last year or so.
