Ahh... I see someone who didn't put in a machine name when installing Linux.
;-) FYI, next time you're installing Linux, and it asks for a "hostname" put
in the name you want to call your computer. :-) For example, I'm the
"front-room tech support" guy here at Chattanooga Online Internet (Chattanooga,
TN) so I decided to call my machine "front." My machine's FULL name is
"front.chattanooga.net" Of course, the routing doesn't know who
"front.chattanooga.net" is, so I have to do all my email via POP & SMTP. :-)
Just an FYI.
