Hostname

=====Changing the system host name=====
Open a terminal as root or use sudo and type
gedit /etc/sysconfig/network
The text file displays
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
Change '''localhost.localdomain''' to the desired host name. On my Toshiba laptop I use the hostname '''Toshiba'''. My edited file looks like this:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=toshiba
Save and exit the editor. The next time you boot your Fedora system your hostname will reflect this change.
