IMHO, localhost.localdomain should *never* be used. The user should be
prompted for a machine name (regardless) once, and

1)If on a network with dhcp etc, the network should handle name resolution
2)If on a network without dhcp etc, zeroconf can do its thing
3)If and only if no network, do:

echo -e ?127.0.0.1\\t\\t `hostname`? >> /etc/hosts
