Because of some reason, perhaps you want to change your computer’s name. If in the past (when you used Windows), it is just like to change ‘my computer’s properties’, then in Ubuntu 8.04, that is more simple. So….
To the point, OK!
Using GUI (Graphical User Interface)
1. From your toolbar, select System ->Administration -> Network
2. Select the General tab.
3. If you are not logged in as Root, select Unlock.
4. A window will open, asking your password to verify you have permission to access this part of the system. Type your password into the textbox, and click Authenticate.
5. Type your desired computer name in the text box labeled Host Name.
6. Click Close
7. Restart your system to ensure the changes take effect.
Using Command Terminal
1. Open your command terminal by selecting Applications – > Accessories – > Terminal.
2. Type gksudo gedit /etc/hostname into the command terminal, and press Enter on your keyboard.
3. Enter your administrative password in the text box. Click OK
4. A window will open titled hostname (/etc) – gedit. Replace your system’s current name with the new one.
5. Select Save from the tool panel at the top of the window.
6. Close the Command Terminal.
7. Restart your system.
Regards.
