[newbie] localhost.localdomain

[Jeff Malka]

This is a standalone PC.  When I ask "uname -a" it tells me my hostname is
"Linux localhost.localdomain".  

Now, it would make sense to change that to something else.  However, I am
concerned that if I did, it might mess up some apps (mail programs?) that might
depend on it somehow.  Is that concern realistic?  Does the new name have to be
something with 2 words separated by a dot or can it be just onw word?

Thanks.
