I have @home and don't use dhcp. They don't change IPs (at least not in the two years I've had mine), so you're safe using a static IP. You can make the hostname and domain anything you want, just put in the right IP, gateway, and DNS servers and you're all set. I don't know about the interactive packages...since I set mine up during boot.
