    F18 Device Name

    Some how I missed the Device Name during the install of F18
    How do you change Device Name of localhost.localdomain in Gnome 3?

    Otherwise, all is well with fresh install of F18

    use the hostnamectl command

    as root user:
    Code:
    hostnamectl set-hostname newhost.newdomain --static

    Thanks DBelton. I had duckduckgo searched the solution, but good to have it from a trusted source here on the forum.

    I used your command and all worked as expected, thanks again
