 Generic Server Setup Tricks
 =========================================
 
+hostname
+-------------
+On Linux (at least ubuntu), the correct way to set a FQDN (fully qualified
+domain name, eg killer.mail.webtwo.com; the hostname in this case would be
+killer) is to edit both ``/etc/hosts``::
+
+    <primary ip>    <fqdn>  <hostname>
+    127.0.0.1   localhost
+
+and ``/etc/hostname``::
+
+    <hostname>
