Exactly. My main workstation/server (till I get a separate server) is neuromancer, my test box is wintermute, my router is alice, and my laptop is joshua. I had also named my parents' windows computer HAL9000 and HAL10000. My fiance's desktop is Canti. And the server is slated to be named aivas. The only time I changed that scheme was I named my server at school feanor, till my teacher made me change it to server12. -- Vikki Roemer Registered Linux user #280021 "Sometimes the lights all shinin' on me; Other times I can barely see.
