Rename computer
When I loaded Mint 11, I misspelled the name of the computer and it bothers me. Is there any way to change the name of the computer?

Re: Rename computer
As I recall you have to also change the name in /etc/hosts. Otherwise when you use sudo or gksu you will get an error - something like "cannot resolve hostname: ... " In fact I think you have to edit /etc/hosts before you edit /etc/hostname.
