My guess is that it's a dummy, "for example" kind of thing. Oh! Now I see that you changed the previous FQDN. Besides, it should have been commented out if it were. Hmmm. Are you on a LAN? Or just using ppp? Or neither? What do /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf say? How did you answer base-config when it asked you the networking questions? And just what _was_ that FQDN?
