	* At work, the host naming scheme once was [[Moons]] (''charon'', ''oberon'', ''io''), then someone decided to include planets by naming a server ''saturn''. Then again, someone different generalized it to [[Planets/Stars]] with ''daystar'' (the evil one), and now it is "objects you can see in the sky", because someone named their host ''fledermaus'' (german for ''bat'). --[[Special:Contributions/87.148.20.127\|87.148.20.127]] 02:21, 24 December 2015 (CET)		* At work, the host naming scheme once was [[Moons]] (''charon'', ''oberon'', ''io''), then someone decided to include planets by naming a server ''saturn''.

			* One of the institutes I studied at had a exceptional naming scheme for print servers. They had names like ''ing'', ''ong'', ''rof'', ''laque'', ''osh'' and ''ummel'', and every new student wondered about the meaning at first. Until they used the UNIX <tt>lpr</tt> command to print something: <tt>lpr</tt> takes a parameter <tt>-P</tt> followed by the hostname of the print server without a space. This resulted in lpr parameters like ''-Ping'', ''-Pong'' (the two most used printers) and ''-Prof'' (wich allowed printing only for professors).

	*One of the first ISPs in Pittsburgh, Telerama used elephants as the scheme with servers named ivory, tusk, etc. My old home scheme was Oregon Rivers (trask, D, tillamook, tualatin, etc. Intel has used similar for cores); my current schemes for lmudc.net are colors from Wikipedia's list: orange, mangotango, pear, sandstorm, flame, ultramarine, pumpkin, cherry, folly (The Windows 8 beta test box) etc. -- Brendan K Callahan 13:17, 24 October 2012 (PDT)		*One of the first ISPs in Pittsburgh, Telerama used elephants as the scheme with servers named ivory, tusk, etc. My old home scheme was Oregon Rivers (trask, D, tillamook, tualatin, etc. Intel has used similar for cores); my current schemes for lmudc.net are colors from Wikipedia's list: orange, mangotango, pear, sandstorm, flame, ultramarine, pumpkin, cherry, folly (The Windows 8 beta test box) etc. -- Brendan K Callahan 13:17, 24 October 2012 (PDT)

			*On my home network I use [[X-Men]] names for all machines, and I try to match the name with either the box or the owner (My media PC, which is an all aluminum case, is "Colossus" and my main computer is my favorite "Longshot"). The hardware is named after things/places in the X-men universe (the WAP is "blackbird", the switch is "XSFTG" i.e. school for the gifted, printer is "mojoworld" ).

Artemis is a Buffalo USB 2.0 print server box. Artemis is a white male cat, despite the name. The box is white, and needed a name for networking purposes -- but it isn't a PC either. So it was the "not quite fitting in" theme that got the box this name. My workgroup name is CrystalTokyo. --[[User:Kaitlyn\|Kaitlyn]] 11:46, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
