''Surely it would be better to put the FQDN first, and not alias localhost to a name other than localhost?'' -- PerryLorier

+''The proper name of the machine in FQDN should be first then alias(s) after. Then when you resolve any alias, they point
+to the first textual alias. IE if you ping say mail it should point to mail.thinclient.test.org. In the example it would point to 'mail'. localhost.localdomain is useful for any program that looked at this but they will all point to 'mail' and the corresponding IP in the example.
