Joanne,

do I really need to answer to that rhetoric question?
Well, my answer may have been too short. But the question was not for a
"local host name" but for names within a network. I replied to the
questions "Do I need to give different computers different names? They
can't all be local.localhost, right?" I thought it would be clear to
those who know enough about networking, that my answer was about the
official hostname and not any host-only, local device names. Bruce's
topic was a LAN setup.

I stop this here from my side as this hair splitting does need to
nothing.

Alexander
