My Scheme

• The best naming scheme I ever saw was used at Digital Equipment Corporation's (DEC) western research facility outside of Seattle. It was called DEC WEST, but unofficially known as DEC WET. All of the hostnames related to wetness. Names were like these: moss, mold, rust, drip, drop, damp, slime, etc. It would be great if one of the many folks from that facility came along and contributed. --CJ 17:38, 27 Sep 2005 (CDT)

• I work for a small company, and we use the Big Cats scheme on all our servers. It works pretty good, but doesn't scale past about 30 (something I'm going to have to deal with soon). On some of my build boxes and on my personal FreeBSD desktop (all our servers are FreeBSD as well), I use the Explosives theme. My desktop is thermite and my main test box is dynamite :) --drue 11:02, 26 Aug 2005 (CDT)

• At home I use an odd naming scheme, I have boxes named: damaged, damned, twisted, scortched (My wife's computer, who sometimes goes by the online name "Dragon"), nailed, hosed, and routed. At work I use the old standby, Simpsons and Futurama. Futurama tends to be our workhorse and database servers, and the Simpsons are our web boxes. --DaiTengu 14:51, 21 Dec 2005 (CST)
