I am pretty sure we should not since continuing to use short
hostname is the worst option of them all since it collides with
other "short" hostnames on your network.
So, then tell me. Which fixed fqdn shall I assign to my laptop then? The
laptop moves around all the time, connects to different networks, so
which is the right fqdn? And no, I am not changing the hostname all the
time...
Again, there are reasons to use the fqdn, but for the general case and
as default it's not a good choice.
Lennart I'm not sure what kind of modern system you are using
which
you can just pick up and walk around with your
containers/vm's/servers between networks but feel free to slide one
of those modern system to me and I'll happily bring that modern
system of yours to the next administrative level ;)
Johann, they are called laptops.
