So, then tell me. Which fixed fqdn shall I assign to my laptop then? The laptop moves around all the time, connects to different networks, so which is the right fqdn? And no, I am not changing the hostname all the time... Again, there are reasons to use the fqdn, but for the general case and as default it's not a good choice. > Lennart I'm not sure what kind of modern system you are using which > you can just pick up and walk around with your > containers/vm's/servers between networks but feel free to slide one > of those modern system to me and I'll happily bring that modern > system of yours to the next administrative level ;) Johann, they are called laptops.
