       /etc/hostname  Historically this file was supposed to only contain
       the hostname and not the full canonical FQDN. Nowadays most
       software is able to cope with a full FQDN here. This file is read
       at boot time by the system  initialization scripts to set the hostname.

       /etc/hosts Usually, this is where one sets the domain name by
       aliasing the host name to the FQDN.
       
So "some" "most" but not "all"
