Hey I have a server with Linux SuSe 9.2 Professional on it. I am trying to add this to my network but I need to change the name of the computer to something I assigned on my other network routing server. How would I change the server name on it?

Also since domain is a Windows thing, how do I set the "domain" for linux? Specifically Suse 9.2 pro
 
The "Windows domain" stuff would be handled through SAMBA. To find the config file with the computer name, do something like: find /etc -exec grep `hostname` {} \;
If `hostname` returns something other than the name of the computer (ie, FQDN) you can just search for the name instead.
 
Changing the hostname can be a bit of a pain, because when you install different files may contain that hostname. Generally I just run 'grep -r * <hostname>" and change all the instances it finds and then reboot.

Do you want to have the box join the domain? If so then you have a lot of other decisions to make about authentication on the box, if you just it to show up in the right workgroup then just edit /etc/smb.conf and change the workgroup entry. If you want to set the DNS domain, change /etc/resolv.conf.
