If you want the hostname to stick even after a reboot in PCLinuxOS there are 2 files to change: the /etc/sysconfig/network and the /etc/hosts:
In the /etc/sysconfig/network I added the line:
HOSTNAME=thenudiebar
Next in the /etc/hosts file I changed the "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost" to:
127.0.0.1 thenudiebar localhost
Finally reboot and you will see that the hostname is set.
texstar@thenudiebar ~]$

texstar@thenudiebar What do geographic locations have to do with changing hostnames? |

I've found that I need to add DHCP_HOSTNAME=<myhostname> to /etc/sysconfig/network for my router to "see" the hostname. - Eddie |

Me too, thanks! Some glitches though. It won't take me to " texstar@thenudiebar ~]$" as shown in the Boss example.  Instead I am in Vortex hostname ... [Vortex@thenudiebar ~]$ su texstar
su: user texstar does not exist
[Vortex@thenudiebar ~]$ su
Password:
[root@thenudiebar Vortex]# su -
[root@thenudiebar ~]# What should I do for to be in the right place " texstar@thenudiebar ~]$"? |

You know what Vorteks ( Vortex ), you're not texstar. I think it's that simple  Actually, when you edited /etc/sysconfig/network, did you "ADD A LINE", or overwrite "HOSTNAME=Vortex" ? 1.) I added a line. 2.) You could over-write the top Line with: HOSTNAME=Texstar, but wouldn't that be a bit creepy, being 'Texstar'. 3.) Each to there own ...  ( I'm not one to be giving advice as I just don't know ), but I'm pretty sure Tex wasn't about having everyones Hostname being "texstar@thenudiebar ~]$" As Texstar wrote: In the /etc/sysconfig/network I added the line:
HOSTNAME=thenudiebar I thought the idea was to change the hostname, which I wouldn't be complaining with: [root@thenudiebar ~]# You've done well |

melodie thanks. Somehow I fill it and don't use uppercase in the names of files that I consider important.  |

You can have high case and low case in name files, you can have it starting with a - or a _ if you wish... some make 2 words as in Windows, usually that works, until you have 2 names alike and want to manipulate them in console, then it becomes a difficult task...

Often I find the space in the filenames problematic so I replace it by _.
But this is of-topic and I am sorry for starting it.

I just recently asked this question, and got Texstar's answer as posted here. I am running the latest 2012 system. I found that modifying the line that starts 127 was not
necessary: when I went to that file, the modification was there already. The system must be smart enough to fix itself! --doug
