Something that has been bothering me for a while is the hostname in RedHat.
I know this may seem like a simple question, but in 
/etc/sysconfig/network, then line: HOSTNAME=

what exactually does it mean by hostname?
Is this the FQDN or just the 'host' name?

I take it to mean just the hostname, as in the file /etc/hosts, you 
enter the alias and FQDN, ie:

192.168.2.88 
dilbert.cartoon.co.uk dilbert

where as in the network file I mentioned above, you enter just the hostname:

HOSTNAME=dilbert

The reason I ask this is that other distros mentioned to put in the 
hostname as the FQDN and others don't.

Cheers

Mark
