I used BBEdit for mine.  I have a 2 machine network ('til later this week
when it will be 3).  my hosts is basically:

dot CNAME dot.hockey.net
dot.hockey.net A 181.100.100.102

yakko CNAME yakko.hockey.net
yakko.hockey.net A 181.100.100.100


The CNAME's are short cut references to full-qualified domain names
(although to be truly FQDN I think I need . on the ends of the names).
There is one space before the A and after the A.

I saved it with macintosh line endings.  Put it in the System folder and
imported into the TCP/IP control panel with the select Hosts file button.

On my LinuxPPC box, I believe I saved it with Unix line endings to
/etc/hosts (can't remember exactly where I put that sucker at).  Guess the
computer name for computer number 3 8-)

Although when I get computer 3 i'm planning on moving over to DNS (via
LinuxPPC R5).
