I’ve ended up with a number of machines on my network, and a need to name them all in a somewhat logical way. For several years I had them named after the planets, which worked well until the PCs for myself, my girlfriend, servers and Raspberry Pi’s quickly summed up to more than the eight planets. I’ve broadened it...
@home: In the Seventies and Eighties, I didn’t bother naming them. In the nineties it was either dead dog names (because I missed the dogs) or the colour of the box (blue and purple). Then in the 00-ies I used a short but explanatory descriptions like SRVBKP1, PCOS2, LTDebby (for laptop Debian). Today all Raspberry Pi’s and personal VPS’s are named after (dead) ancestors (and the mount points on them are named after things they liked).
What is your preferred daily driver distribution?
Considering switching away from Fedora and to another distribution. Does anyone have any suggestions for distributions I should consider?
What is your machine naming scheme?
