The Name My Server thread

That server needs a name. WCCC-NHC4ZNOPI3 just doesn't do it justice.

It's a Duron 1300 sitting on top of an NF7 with 128mb of PC2700.

Those aren't the only roles it will fulfill, but that's the starting lineup (for now).

That's a legal copy of Windows Server 2003 right?


How about "Server"

If this works out (and at the moment, it looks like it will), it'll actually go to a fully licensed copy. So that ain't gonna fly.

How about "Server"

Evaluation, for the time being. And the "Server" NetBIOS name is already taken by another rig.

lol..sure you will. Forgive me for doubting you. I was in the wrong. I mean come on, its you, "EyeMWing," of course you'll buy it....

I was a fool for even surmizing somethign so ludicrously implausible, even in the depths of my mind.

I am truly sorry for assuming something so vain of you.

It shall not happen again.

That I swear to you.

I hereby nominate "PITA."

For some reason, NAT is being interrupted every 5 minutes for a few seconds.

 

[imthebadguy]

1) CEREBELLUM
2) SYNAPSE
3) INSPIRON
4) ULTRA
5) POWEREDGE
6) DOWNLOAD
7) NEURON
8) TEHWINAR
9) OLDDELL
10) LAPTOP

When I worked for an ISP, we named them after Simpsons characters:

drnick
sideshowbob
bart
lisa
groening

and so forth. If you have a lot of computers, a lot of people name them after a theme. I know a place I work at now (acmeshells.com) we've named the boxes things like republic, empire, monarch, dictator, etc (rip dominion). some of the computers i have at home just have weird random names like logic, bonjour, rendezvous, blackbox, vox, etc. just be creative!

Using Microsoft on your server .... hmmm ...

how aboot any of these?

NotNix, Insecure, Risk, Effort......

Cause it's not *nix

Since most of the virii, worms, trojans, etc out there target Windows, it is more insecure in the real world, even if the OS is "technically" as secure as your favorite flavor of *nix.

With insecurity comes Risk, also, it is a cool board game

Windows takes a lot more effort to KEEP running. I'll agree that the initial setup of a Unix/Linux box can be time consuming, but it usually requires less maintenance once you have everything how you like it.



Or perhaps As others have said, choose a character name from one of your favorite TV shows .... I think Beavis would be a cool name for the server, or maybe Cartman, or how about Timmahhh?
