Hi Alex, Setting up hostname and domain is not a simple task because there is more than one way of doing it.
To check your hostname and domain, you need to run: uname -n hostname -a hostname -s hostname -d hostname -f hostname If all these commands return the correct values, then the hostname and domain are configured correctly.
