Renaming the Hostname of Mageia
I wanted to change the default hostname of my Mageia 2 install, which was localhost to something else. It's ridiculous that I needed to change 3 files:
/etc/sysconfig/network /etc/hosts /etc/hostname
And only when I changed all 3, did the hostname change. Really?
$ sudo urpmi sazanami-mincho-fonts
I don't (and can't) read Japanese but I really don't like seeing a page with boxes instead of the correct font so I issued the above command to install the Japanese fonts. I don't know if it's the correct package but I do recall the `mincho` font in my Windows computer before showing _kana_ characters. The command is for Mageia 2, BTW.
After 4 re-installs, I finally got Mageia 2 + LXDE working! Here's the default screenshot of the desktop that greeted me after login. Will try to make a write-up about this later than sooner.
I was trying out Mageia 2 on a virtual machine earlier and when the install completed I was greeted by the CLI. The first thing I did was to check if there is a network connection. Having used Linux for some time, I nonchalantly typed in `ifconfig -a` and was surprised it was a `command not found`. No biggie, since it's new it probably uses `iproute2` (Arch uses this), me thinks. So I issue the `ip addr` but still get `command not found` error. Now I frown and do a `whereis ifconfig` and get `ifconfig: /sbin/ifconfig`. So it is installed! Hmm, maybe Mageia only allows `root` so I `sudo ifconfig -a` but still no go! Searching in [Duck Duck Go](http://www.duckduckgo.com) gave me results that I need to use full path+command i.e. `/sbin/ifconfig -a` and I get the results I was looking for. I haven't encountered this in other distros so I am new to it. Long story short, why is this? Is this a security feature?
