"localhost" is assumed always to exist and to be bound to 127.0.0.1 (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost). You can of course give your machine another name as well (just add additional names to the localhost line in /etc/hosts), but you can't remove the meaning of localhost without breaking things. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
