I checked 3 machines and they are the same, so I submit only one: +++ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 chalupa.localdomain chalupa localhost.localdomain localhost localhost4 ::1 chalupa.localdomain chalupa localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 +++ This was snapped after I had installed F14 and before I edited hosts to know about the other machines. No comment about "Do not remove" (that vanished a couple of releases ago if my memory is correct) and it makes sense that /etc/hosts would have both the machine name as defined during the install and the "generic" localhost. You might be using "virgin" to imply an earlier state than my snapshot, but somehow that seems like you are looking at "pristine" before knowledge of the machine is available? There is a small chance that my notes during install might be wrong, but once I figured out how to get network working under F9, I've been pretty careful to capture original of all files related (hosts and ifcfg-eth0) before modifying.
