-- | Ensures that the hostname is set using best practices.
--
-- Configures /etc/hostname and the current hostname.
--
-- /etc/hosts is also configured, with an entry for 127.0.1.1, which is
-- standard at least on Debian to set the FDQN.
--
-- Also, the /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 line is set to localhost. Putting any
-- other hostnames there is not best practices and can lead to annoying
-- messages from eg, apache.
