To make the change permanent just export the variable from your profile file.
(pressed Submit too fast)
If you just want the host name
PS='\h#' or \H# should be enough - the capital letter one will get your FQDN if it can, the small one gets the hostname to the first dot. See httphttp://www.linuxselfhelp.com/howtos/Bash-Prompt/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO-2.html for all available options)

Make that PS1='\h#'

vi $HOME/.bash_profile

Its simple try this....
PS1="`hostname`: "

Thank you folks
You need to be careful with what you put in /etc/profile as it is referenced by bash, ksh and sh.
Just make sure you put portable code in there.
