This is one of those things that is different for the different
distributions. with Slackware you need to change /etc/hosts and
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 with redhat you need to change /etc/hosts
/ets/sysconfig/network /ets/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, I am not
familiar enough with the others to say what they need to do.
