How-to site Tech-Recipes.com offers up a simple but helpful tip for changing a computer name after a Linux system is already installed. To make the change, open up a terminal and punch in the following:


gksudo gedit /etc/hostname

Type in your administrator password and you should get a file that contains the computer name. Change it, save it, done.
