In your bash profile (if you use bash), howsabout |
| 18 |
export PS1='[\h][\u][\w]' |
| 19 |

Actually, I go for a fancy "technicolour prompt" |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
export PS1='[\[\033[01;32m\]\h\[\033[00m\]][\[\033[01;34m\]\u\[\033[00m\]][\[\033[01;36m\]\w\[\033[00m\]] ' |
| 23 |
|

Either way, the host name shows up at the beginning of the prompt. |
