I don't appear to ever get an opportunity to set the

localhost.localdomain.
Did I miss it, or is this just something I need to change
following the install?
On the XFCE spin, the "Network and Hostname" spoke is
enabled in the installer. This appears to be disabled in
the Workstation spin. There the Gnome Initial Setup utility
is, in theory, run on your first login to add additional
users, set a root password, configure networking, etc.
I don't remember that running when I installed, but I may
have closed it and forgotten since this was just a VM to
testing. It's also possible that the install guide is out
of date with respect to Gnome Initial Setup.
I haven't tried it, but within the live environment there's
an editable hostname entry in Settings, under Details, then
About. I don't know if that sticks if you change it and
then install to disk.
