Newbie Hostname Configuration

["Paul Walton" <bloodshot@ntlworld.com>]

I'm a relative newbie, although I have installed and used Debian and FreeBSD
a number of times but one question still puzzles me - what is the correct
way to set up my machines hostname.
I am about to install 2.2r5 on a standalone dialup machine and would like to
get this basic step right, should I use an imaginary name and FQDN such as
<newbie.madeupdomain.org> or should I use my ISPs information
<bloodshot.ntlworld.com> or something different?
I have RTFM but can't seem to find a simple, straightforward guide to this
setup.

Thanks
