 When one installs F15 (KDE) via the Live ISO, the second part of the
install
 process asks the user to set the computer network name, ie
 localhost@localdomain.

 When one changes localhost to another name, it shows up in the DHCP clients
 table of my Linksys E4200 router page.  I like that.

 Where is this name stored ?  How does one change what its set to ?

 $ cat /etc/hosts
 127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
 ::1             localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

 Thanks 
The system's hostname is set by the HOSTNAME field in
/etc/sysconfig/network
