Coming up with witty/smart names for new devices is quite possibly the best part of new hardware The fear-striking quality is a nice touch. Personally, I love me some ‘ReBoot’ and my network is full of the character names.

There are some pretty awesome ideas over on Stack – http://stackoverflow.com/questions/262657/the-coolest-server-names-closed

Wow. I just named my macbookpro – benzo-macbookpro:…

benzo-macbookpro:~ benson$

And my username is one that Macstation gave me when they fixed my dead HDD… lol. I didn’t realize so much went into naming a computer.

Most of our servers in our peer1 cage are named stuff like: www1, www2, zapp1, zapp2, etc. :b
