Yes, on either platform you can make them different, but I agree that it
is not a recommended procedure. In Windows you have to do extra work to
make them different, a simple installation and setup will otherwise
result in the default situation as explained.
I was basically questioning the recent post recommending to "Make
certain your server netbios name is not the same as your NT or www
name", as it diverges from our above agreement.
