Machine-naming makes sense to me - having done that with a variety
of (blush) Windows machines in my LAN. I've toyed with versions of
Linux, and used a few live-CD ones over the years, and I'm fairly sure
that as well as being asked to supply a hostname I've also been asked
to supply a domain value.
What, on a home LAN, is that used for?
