I found that a default Red Hat installation creates the /etc/hosts file in the following manner.

127.0.0.1 real_hostname localhost.localnet localhost

I would not remove the entire line but remove your hostname from that line.

If you have no line that looks like:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localnet localhost

in your /etc/hosts file you might experience odd behaviour
when you reboot the machine. Just a warning.
