`host name' vs. `hostname'



Howdy,

I am pleased to report that earlier today I was able to install
Debian Woody on my iBook2 using the new-powermac flavor without
any serious problems.  However, I did find some minor issues
that I'd like to fix.

Which term is preferred, `host name' or `hostname'.  The
boot-floppies use both on the same screen, and some consistency
would be nice.  FOLDOC lists it as one word[1,2], but the
hostname manual page uses two.  Any preference?

Matt
