I have been playing around with customizing the centos to create a spin for my workplace. I am using centos 6.6 minimal, and trying to change the centos name to some random string. I have been able to change the name in the grub using grub.conf, but the name while the system is booting, I am not able to find a reference to that. Can somebody help me with that ?
This can be found via a search engine. http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/centos-hostname-change
This way one changes hostname reported by
hostname
command (which usually though not necessarily is what the machine is registered on network with). My impression was the OP (original poster) wishes the system claim to be different from (CentOS) as he makes hist own tweaked distribution disk (or whatever the reason is). This last (CentOS, RedHat Enterprise, Debian,...) appears in many places, GRUB configuration file, splash screen image to name some.
This may be a good starting point: https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.6#head-aa7c0c92192cb800...
