We used to be an all Sun place so we would name our machines after things that were prefixed with "sun" and droped the "sun". It's a cute little scheme but as the old Sun3's die and get replaced with HP 9000's it doesn't make much sense anymore. So we had:
burn day spot and my favorite....fire and many more
Also my personal machine is called nuclear which just has a cool ring to it. It's also much better then lilac, which is what it used to be called.
Before everyone starts flaming ZD and yelling foul play...again, why don't we actually do something about it.
If you can't help program then go out and test all this new stuff and send in bug reports. Let's have Linux set the standard again. It seems like, acording to the article, it was this way once and we lost it because Microsoft has pushed the bar a little higher and we lagged behind.
