[06:31] <rehana> hi
[06:31] <rehana> i am having problem with fqdn
[06:31] <rehana> i had entered the following lines in /etc/hosts
[06:31] <rehana> 10.1.31.212 oracle oracle10g oracle.oracle10g.com
[06:35] <rehana> but when i type the command hostname --fqdn the output shows oracle10g
[06:35] <rehana> where oracle10g is my hostname
[06:44] <philipballew_> rehana, your trying to change your hostname?
[06:49] <rehana> i apologize for delayed reply
[06:49] <rehana> i am trying turn my pc to fqdn
[08:41] <geirha> rehana: The fqdn should be first, followed by the aliases
[08:42] <geirha> e.g.  10.1.31.212 oracle.oracle10g.com oracle
[19:29] <Dangr_> Question: I have used Ubuntu on a desktop here and there. Are there any issues with using Ubuntu as the primary OS on a laptop? If I got a laptop and put Ubuntu on it are there hardware incompatibilities I would have to worry about?
[19:38] <pleia2> depends on your hardware
[19:38] <pleia2> runs fine on my laptops
[19:39] <pleia2> you can search to see if someone else has tested your model here: https://friendly.ubuntu.com/
[19:39] <pleia2> and you can use a live session (installer CD is also a livecd) to test
