some time ago I was pondering about this issue, because having 'fnote' (name
of by notebook) as first caused problems with some services expecting
127.0.0.1 to map to localhost (which is imho a MUST), and 'hostname -s'
returned 'localhost' if localhost was the first one.
I waqs searching for some more informations and found out discussion about
this on debian-devel, where I found a suggestion use othert loopback-based
IP for local host name.
