Thank you for clarifying that Florian. My hosts file doesn't contain a line 
for localhost, but if I ping localhost, it replies from 127.0.0.1 just as it 
would if it were listed in the hosts file. In Windows, the hosts file 
explicitly lists localhost, so for my curiosity does anyone know where 
localhost is defined in Ubuntu?
Sincerely,
Brain Cell
