I use bird names for my own boxes (heron, redwing, sandpiper)

at work we have the office machines which are all named after gods
and the service hosts which are kind of a mixed bag (characters from
the simpsons, grateful dead, movies, linguists, and assassins)

I actually think it's useful to name service hosts after people because it engages
the highly developed cognitive processing we have for dealing with personality
temperament and events.

OH!! Silly me. Yes, you'd have to know the history of my paint
jobs for that. The gaming box which is now an interesting shade
of green was running both my displays. Of course it used to be
blue :P
That leaves to question.. have we done this before?? How does
everyone name their machines?
Blue, Shuttle, and Server are my primary boxes.

I  believe that Bob was refering to the machine that was show
running on
your new toy. The text shown in the display appears to be
running on a
machine named blue.

blue root # /etc/init.d/portmap start
