For Red-Hat systems, you just need to edit /etc/sysconfig/network. At the
time of start-up, rc.sysinit reads HOSTNAME varaible from this file and
runs hostname command to set it.
# Set the hostname.
action $"Setting hostname ${HOSTNAME}: " hostname ${HOSTNAME}
$HOSTNAME is read from /etc/sysconfig/network.

Subject: Re: [ILUG-BOM] Re: Problem with setting hostname.
Slackware stores in hostname file in /etc.
It really depends on rc files which load up the system.
Debian picks the hostname from /etc/hosts
RedHat most Windows Registry compliant of them all has it is Windows
.ini file style in /etc/sysconfig/network
