Linux Address Question

Currently installing Linux Mandrake 7.2 on one of my computers.
Currently I am looking at the following question: "Please enter your host name. Your host name should be a fully qualified host name, such as mybox.mylab.myco.com." You may also enter the IP address of the gateway if you have one."

My DNS is there and my gateway address is there but the host name box is blank. What do I put there?

Unless this machine is going to be used as a webserver, you can name it anything you want. Even DaisyDuck.computer.com would work.
