Call me Mr. Raider, call me Mr. Wrong, ...

I know, I know. The "Its name is..." bandwagon, initiated by madduck, is already over. But I've seen so many interesting hostnames, that I'd like to contribute my hostnames as well. For my personal systems I usually use names of characters from the simpsons family: maggie, homer, moe is what I currently have. For systems in the company for which I work, the naming schema is usually more pragmatic: Starting with a three-character-string (the initials of the company I work for), followed by a dash and a suffix which identifies more or less the usage of the server or something that makes it special. An example for this scheme is imr-wsvn which is a VM hosting a web-svn tool. But there is also at least one exception to that scheme: I called my desktop at work teekanne (which is a german word meaning teapot) for no special reason.

Oh and there is another exception: Till yesterday I made a 2-weeks experiment using Fedora on my notebook in order to learn something about this system. I called this fedora system fixit.
