In my terminal it says..
[benjamin@blah blah ip address ~]$
I have been trying to figure out how to change this to no avail. I added an entry to the host file but it didn't change it. I know this has to be simple. It's really annoying.

Yeah I tried searching but didn't know what to search for. I'll check that out. All I want to do is change the text.

"bash prompt" was my search, I believe.
