Hi all,

when logging I see a linux-a04i in the upper corner, and when im in the terminal, its listed as name@linux-a04i. This is a minor annoyance, but is there anyway I can change the “linux-a04i” to something of my choosing?

edit the file /etc/HOSTNAME

kdesu kwrite /etc/HOSTNAME

or gnomesu gedit /etc/HOSTNAME

depending if you use gnome or kde. There are other ways too, Eg Yast network settings
