Example
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.10 foo.mydomain.org foo
192.168.1.13 bar.mydomain.org bar
146.82.138.7 master.debian.org master

For each host a single line should be present with the following information:
IP_address canonical_hostname [aliases...]
Fields of the entry are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. Text from a "#" character until the end of the line is a comment, and is ignored. Host names may contain only alphanumeric characters, minus signs ("-"), and periods ("."). They must begin with an alphabetic character and end with an alphanumeric character. Optional aliases provide for name changes, alternate spellings, shorter hostnames, or generic hostnames (for example, localhost).
Slightly confusing the above . Dunno if localhost is the alias or the canonical name .
That puppypc12345 would be the canonical one, would mean canonical in the local network.
Since the above examples are like
192.168.1.10 foo.mydomain.org foo
and not
192.168.1.10 foo foo.mydomain.org
I doubt that your are right in this regard.
That your are false in posting to the Desktop section and also false not posting in the Bug section , that's for sure.
May I ask what your knowledge background is ?
