Looking at man 1 hostname, it looks like /etc/hostname is just the short hostname. The FQDN comes from /etc/hosts. The question isn't "how do I set a domain name" (unless it goes somewhere in addition to hosts) but rather, should I? I've had one response from someone who does. Is there anyone who _doesn't_?
