hostname??

["Hairie" <hairie7@tm.net.my>]

All My Linux Friends,

Do you all guys here know how I would like to change the HOSTNAME to any
names I like.
in my .bash_profile know I've set HOSTNAME=`hostname` but the system only
read my hostname as "localhost.localdomain". If I'm setting my hostname
using this command "hostname Linux" it just appear at that time only but if
I'm reboot the system it will recognized my system as localhost.localdomain
after that?? Do you guys have any idea about this??

TQ very much
