#6 I name machines 1-up alphabetically. I dunno why. Harriet was preceded by Dorothy, Ethelred, Francesco, and Gerthudion, and followed by Ike...

#7 Harriet? Fred, my sister Harriet passed away some years ago. If her spirit haunts your server. Say, "Hi from 'Little Bro'"...

#10 The work you do is truly amazing. I hardly have any time to comment on the posts, muchless post articles.

#11 Fred, just glad to see you are back! That, and Mucky's back!

Now if anyone could tell me what the hell is up w/Instapundit, I'd be a happy girl.

#12 Harriet was preceded by Dorothy, Ethelred,..

I always got a kick out of Concentric's four machine names when they offered a pseudo-shell service. They were Galileo, Mariner, Viking, and Voyager.

Alkaid
Mezar
Alioth
Dubhe
Alnilam
Capella
Kokab

#15 Arab names for Rantburg servers? I da know....

I for one am waiting for the new Double Jasper class.

#16 Altho to be fair, Arab names for stars just plain sound good. AldeBaran is my favorite.

#23 OS, FreeBSD and Apache would be also good 2 words. Not sure though how that relates to machine hostnames.

Well, unless:
Apache
Comanche
Hopi
Sioux
Lakota
Cherokee
Metis
Iroquis
... etc.

Or something more conspirational.

#24 Don't forget Churchill. Maybe you better call it Ward so you don't get ocnfused. Maybe WC for short.

#25 The ones that break down, or that you take off-line could be named, oh:

Boris, Gentle, Murat, IToldYouSo,...

#26 Shipman and BigEd---All those stars are my navigational friends in the past. When the Arabs had their act together, they would use them to navigate.

I do like the Alaska State Flag. Blue background, big dipper stars and the pole star polaris. Very simple and elegant.
