Hi Woodchip,

Actually, I think you may be wrong in this case.  You are correct about
putting FQDN first, but in this case, "localhost" may be the
fully-qualified domain, and "localhost.localdomain" may be the alias,
since there is no actualy domain called "localdomain".

If you list "localhost" first, then programs that resolve IP->name using
/etc/hosts via the gethostby*() functions will resolve
127.0.0.1->localhost, which in my experience is desirable over
127.0.0.1->localhost.localdomain.
