	# three hosts named:  Laptop, Desktop1, and iMac
	# These are the nice names of the hosts to make it easy to write the config file
	# The aliases section below contain the "actual" names of the hosts (their hostnames)

section: links
	# iMac is to the right of Desktop1
	# Laptop is to the left of Desktop1
	Desktop1:
		right = iMac
		left  = Laptop

	# Desktop1 is to the right of Laptop
	Laptop:
		right = Desktop1

	# Desktop1 is to the left of iMac
	iMac:

section: aliases
	# The "real" name of iMac is John-Smiths-iMac-3.local. If we wanted we could remove this alias and instead use John-Smiths-iMac-3.local everywhere iMac is above. Hopefully it should be easy to see why using an alias is nicer
	John-Smiths-iMac-3.local:
		iMac
