Lightbulb Change Linux Hostname

Hi Good Day!

I have a fedora 8 installed and I wan't to change its hostname since the default hostname is "localhost.localdomain". I wanna change it to something different. Please some one advice what to do. Do I have to change the entry in "/etc/hosts" or there's other way to do it?
