My current workstation/test environment is called 'Cybertron', after the
planet where the transformers used to live before leaving to earth. Why?
uhm... I'm really into the transformers comics

I'm currently considering buying a new laptop to become more mobile in
where I can work. The laptop will be called Unicron, named after the one
robot that was too big for all the Autobots and the Deceptikons to fight

For clients, I generally try to give the hosts names that are related to
either the work being performed or the person using it.

partsrvr
partscntr
acctrecv
acctpay
bossman

On my home lan, they're named according to their location.

Den1
Den2
Kitchen
LRoom
BdRoom
Jefferson (as in Airplane - a wireless laptop)

I've named all of the machines here after my children-
(who, incidentally, are all named after animals, spirits, or ancient
God/Godesses.)

However, I've got a few clunkers lying around that don't have hostnames
yet, and I have no idea of what I'm going to name my G5 once it gets here.

I'll prolly pull something of of my ethnic heritage (p'haps Yaya or
Yaya-El), but so far I'm simply happy to call it "mine".

Does this mean that when you decide to get a new PC you have to wait 9
months for a new name to become available?

Name mine after fruit, don't know why. pear, plum, peach so far, running out
of p* fruit names.

My servers are the only ones with interesting names - I let the
clients name their own and the workstations are all named boring
descriptive things, like mwcdt,ehsdt,ewcdt, and T22. Except for Fred,
which handles the cooling system in my office.

badlands - firewall, DNS, mail & webserver

squirrel - file server (1.4 TB)

moose - connected to the stereo, to interface the family moosic
library. <groans optional>

Boris & Natasha - Digital VCRs.
