Your PC will not know WTF "Nokia-N900-42-11" means, otherwise.

Please don't post misleading information. Think it through and double-check your work. There are many new linux enthusiasts here that could be unnecessarily confused by such things.
I didn't make any modifications to my /etc/hosts file and my computer instantly recognized "Nokia-N900-42-11. In fact, the only thing in my /etc/hosts file is this:
Code:
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain   localhost my_host_name
While I appreciate your enthusiasm for wanting to help people, I would appreciate it if you didn't ASSUME that I a) didn't check my work and b) I am unconcerned about how my posts will affect other readers.
