Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the graphical administration entry point and reviewing how this tool performs system changes. Define the initial scope around changing the system hostname; it is done when the graphical option updates the hostname successfully and the broader management ideas remain separately scoped.

Description
Currently, as far as I know, there is no graphical way to change the computer name/hostname that was set during the installation afterwards.
To me, this tools seems like a good place where such an option could be integrated (the other one would be mintreport, but that currently only shows information, so I thought here would fit better).
Possibly other options could accompany it to make other basic system management tasks possible using a graphical interface.
