Installation - hosts file

Has anyone here used /etc/hosts to block bad websites and Web objects? Details:

Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File

...and how to use that method with *nix:

Hosts File for Linux or Unix
http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/hostsforlinux.html

Windows's default hosts file has only one line:

Code:

127.0.0.1 localhost

Kanotix's hosts says:

Code:

127.0.0.1   localhost

127.0.1.1   [user's system name is added here]

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

# (added automatically by netbase upgrade)

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

fe00::0 ip6-localnet

ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix

ff02::1 ip6-allnodes

ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Obviously the first two entries are necessary---but will the stuff after the 2nd entry interfere with any addresses that are added? (On a standalone system, maybe the entries after the 2nd one aren't needed?)

Thanks, Andy

I use the hosts file to block unwanted addresses since I use linux. I don't know what's the use of those ipv6 entries, I just appended a "Junk" section after that part, like this:

##JUNK##
0.0.0.0 ad.doubleclick.net
0.0.0.0 us.a1.yimg.com
