Well, I don't have my first mac yet, but I (uh) saw it running on a ThinkPad. Unofficially. Of course. Anyhow, I think the hostname configuration is actually in the Sharing preferences pane. It's right at the top, and pretty obviously labeled "Computer name"
I still don't see why this is listed with the sharing settings instead of the network configuration... go figure.

OS X comes with vim. I prefer vim for editing stuff; I've never used BBEdit, but perhaps vim has what you're looking for. I'm sure you know already, but just to make sure: vim is a console app.

I don't know about you, but in OS X I find that I don't feel the same urge to maximize apps like I do in Windows. An in some cases, the + won't even maximize an app. I don't know if there's a shortcut, but perchance you'll find that, over time, you use the + button less and less... just a thought.
