Hey all. I have a couple rather simple questions, but I can't seem to
find any clear, simple answers to them anywhere.

1. On a linux box, what are the domain name and host name?

2. What are their purpose as far as internet and local networks go?

3. What would one typically put into these settings and how/when do they
come into play?

Thanks!
Justin
