Yes, both the BBB and RPi2 use Archlinux. Once you change it you need to log out and back in or reboot to see the change.

Neil,

 I assume you want to change the hostname. The proper way to do that in Archlinux is:

hostnamectl set-hostname myhostname

Replace myhostname with the name you want it to be.

I had made a typo when initializing a RPI2 and used nano to edit /etc/hostname  and I fixed my typo .
it worked until I rebooted and my typo returned.
how do I make it perminate? /etc/hostname file still has the correct name in it.
