+==== Change VM's Hostname ====
+To make things clear, and have an indication of the machine we're logged to whenever we ssh into it, we'll change the machine's hostname. This is done by editing 2 more file: // /etc/hosts // and // /etc/hostname //:
+In /etc/hosts, you'll only need to change the second line to make it look like the following:
+<code>
+> nano /etc/hosts
+.0.0.1       localhost
+.0.1.1       lamp-xd.virtual.net     lamp-xd
+# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
+::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
+ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
+ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
+</code>
+Then replace the content of /etc/hostname
+<code>
+> nano /etc/hostname
+lamp-xd
+</code>
+You'll need to restart the VM for those changes to take effect
+<code>
+> reboot
+</code>
