lisi, hopefully this is to the list and not private. for your home network - /etc/hosts add the ipaddress followed by the hostname i.e. 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 hestia 192.168.122.10 testing 192.168.122.11 stable 192.168.122.12 one-i386 that will make ssh user@hostname work instead of user@ipaddress. also works with scp and sftp take care
