Setting the Name
By default, a computer is identified on the network by its computer name (as it is entered
in the Sharing pane in System Preferences). You can change this name to something
more meaningful if you like, since it is the name used to identify this computer in the
Apple Qmaster distributed processing system. If you are setting up a QuickCluster, this
is the name that will appear in the Compressor Cluster pop-up menu or the Apple Qmaster
Submit To pop-up menu. If you are setting up a managed cluster controller, this is the
name that will appear in the Apple Qadministrator Controller pop-up menu.
