Don't give up quite yet! There is no need to install another distro
instead of a current one for a small change like that :-) Brent's
instructions are good.
BTW if you make this the only line of your /etc/hosts file, which you
can only edit while logged in as root, you should be set:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
to modify this, I suggest you login as a normal user, then open a
terminal, type su and then hit enter, type your password (and hit
enter), then enter gedit /etc/hosts (with enter), replace whatever is in
there with the above line, save the file. Next time you reboot you'll
be fine.
Tell us how you get on.
