Change Hostname of Linux box

If you want to change the hostname of your Linux box after installation, its really easy to do so.

Step 1: Edit file /etc/sysconfig/network (i.e: vi/etc/sysconfig/network)

Step 2: Add or change HOSTNAME=your-desired-name-here

Step 3: Save your change (i.e: type :wq in vi)

Step 4: Restart the network daemon. (i.e: service xinetd restart). You can alternatively just type reboot on the command line to restart your box.

Maybe there is a different way to do this also, but this is fairly quick and easy!
