I have been playing around with customizing the centos to create a spin
for
my workplace.
I am using centos 6.6 minimal, and trying to change the centos name to
some
random string.
I have been able to change the name in the grub using grub.conf, but the
name while the system is booting, I am not able to find a reference to
that.
Can somebody help me with that ?

This can be found via a search engine.

This way one changes hostname reported by

hostname

Actually, now you should use:

hostnamectl set-hostname fqdn


command (which usually though not necessarily is what the machine is
registered on network with). My impression was the OP (original poster)
wishes the system claim to be different from (CentOS) as he makes hist own
tweaked distribution disk (or whatever the reason is). This last (CentOS,
RedHat Enterprise, Debian,...) appears in many places, GRUB configuration
file, splash screen image to name some.

Anyhelp with what to search for or some blogs and direct answers would
help
