The convention is also towards "your distro, your rules" :) I wasn't being dismissive, though. YOu asked if it was something to concern yourself over. I said as bluntly as possible that it makes no difference. If you are running a pre-made distro right now, then all of your binaries that embed a hostname have the wrong one. However, setting an environment variable in chroot may help. It depends on how hostname is determined by the package, though. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
