This is what I was referring to. I was surprised to find Fedora adding the
local host name to the localhost line. It caused me problem (I do run samba) that totally
disappeared when I split the line, keeping the localhost line
pure.
I suspect that would cause some sincerely erratic behavior, especially
once a real network was attached to the machine.
(And I suspect learning how to setup a local only DNS would be a good
mental limbering exercise. Good examples abound.)
