Are you talking about your hostname?
localhost is the default entry for the loopback address.

if you are talking about this:
[linux@localhost.localdomain linux]$
You can change this using the 'hostname' command:
hostname new.hostname.here

Then change your network config file to specify your new hostname.

In Redhat this is typically located in:
/etc/sysconfig/network
