Tried it. Doesn't work :(
When I run "erl -name some_name" on Linux machine I get this:

    some_name@REDACTED>1>

where DHGROUP is our workgroup. I then run "erl -name
another_name@REDACTED" on my Windows box and try to call it from Linux:

    rpc:call(yo@REDACTED,kvs,store, [weather, fine]).


    =ERROR REPORT==== 5-Jul-2007::10:08:13 ===
    ** System running to use fully qualified hostnames **
    ** Hostname turkeyhotels is illegal **
    {badrpc,nodedown}

:(

Hmmm... Whatever shall I do? I was hoping I could develop a distributed
system and just run it on a network... No it looks like I need a way to
quickly and painlessly configure a system (any system) to work with
Erlang/OTP...
