[Users] Debian - Odd, hopefully minor, machine name / prompt issue

Hi Ola...

As embarrassing as this is, I have to admit that I can't figure out how to 
open a bug report using the link provided below.  That's why the report is 
not filed yet.  Also, I experienced a kernel panic with this kernel. 
Another engineer restarted the system, but because he was accessing via an 
IPMI card (so no text console) he was unable to copy out the associated 
information from the kernel. If there is something I can get you from the 
machine, I'll be happy to do so.

Also, another person I know knows how to open Debian bug reports, but he 
won't be available until after the Jewish holiday.  As soon as I can talk 
with him I'll open the bug.
