Server Names For a New Generation

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-is-it-called? dept.

itwbennett writes "Server naming is well-trod ground on Slashdot. But as new generations enter the workforce, they're relearning the fundamentals of what makes a good scheme. Can servers named after characters from The Simpsons or The Howard Stern show stand the test of time? If you name your servers after the Seven Dwarfs, can you have any doubt that Grumpy will cause you trouble? Striking a balance between fun and functional is harder than it seems."

    My personal opinion is that bug names are a better solution. They are almost infinite.

    Or name them after Islamic terrorists - for the same reason.

    Just don't name them after Muslims who condemn terrorism, you'll run out in no time.
