Hostname in shell (bash)?

[Steven N. Fettig]

Hi all,

I searched the archives and documents on bash, but I can't figure out 
how to put the hostname of the workstation I am on before the $ of the 
shell/command line.  Does anyone know how to add the hostname 
(preferably the first part - i.e. www, db1, etc) to the command line for 
bash 2.x?

Thanks,
Steve
