I just checked and you don't say which distribution you have. Therefore, on
general principles, not because I know this is required, change the first
line to:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

It may not matter, depending on your distribution.

They are interrelated. The configuration files in Linux pretty much make or
break your network capabilities and degree of protection against intrusion.

Also, the entire idea of computers is software (written, evanescent things)
controlling hardware (solid, corporeal things).
