I'm not real sure what you are after. The latter part of an email address has to be a domain that can be found in the world's DNS system. This means it has to be a registered name assigned to you, or to someone who can proxy for you, as your ISP does. Or, am I totally off the track of what you want to do?

try firing up `netconfig` or `linuxconf` goto basic host info...you should be able to change it there...or if it's just the fact that it annoys you on the command prompt. open your .bashrc file in your home directory. add this line to the end
PS1=psx>
or change psx> to what ever you want the command prompt to look like.

Doing nothing is entirely under-rated.

Look at playing with your PS1 variable, assuming you use bash as your shell.
