I wouldn't use this in /etc/hostname. Contacting this machine from
elsewhwere on the network could prove frustrating.
I think that is or was a basic default for desktops without a network,
correct me if I'm wrong... I've been using Debian for so long I can't
remember where I got this from!
$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
This line is the complete contents of /etc/hosts?
Yes, with a few more commented lines:
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
#::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
#fe00::0 ip6-localnet
#ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
#ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
#ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
#ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
Thanks for your attention!
