Thanks. Pardon me if this is a stupid question, but I don't know what my machines host name is; I used DHCP during installation, and believe that it may have been named .ontrca.adelphia.net by default. How can I determine the localhost name and/or change it? Otherwise, you've provided me with great information with the gnome doc.
