Change that. keep in mind that you'll also want to edit your /etc/hosts file, and change the hostname there as well. (or add a line for your hostname and IP address, if it just has 'localhost' in there already). if you don't do this, things like gdm (that GUI login window that GNOME uses) will have a fit and refuse to run, because they can't resolve your hostname.
