This page allows you to set the name of your computer. The name of your computer will appear in various places, such as the system startup screen, log files, and the Applications menu.
For home users, it's best to provide a descriptive name of the location and/or owner of the computer. For example, Living-Room-PC or Annas-PC. Note that if you have a home network, you will need to make sure that each computer has a different name. Otherwise, some applications may not function correctly.
For business and server installations, a computer name is typically assigned by a network administrator. This may include a domain name, which can be appended to the end of the name. For example, wkst025.wilcox-tech.com or postgres02.chi.adelielinux.org.
