I stuck into a little problem related to a hostname change; basically I needed to change hostname for a basic debian install.

I then powered up my fav browser with my fav search engine (FF + Google), then searched for that stuff.

Easy as that! You change Hostname by simply doing

vi /etc/hostname (and put your new hostname inside this file, in place of the old one)

and that’s all. NOT!!!

Now launch

vi /etc/hosts

…and change also the other stuff were you see the old name.

Now you can safely reboot (or simply logoff/logon) to see changes take effect immediately.
