    Server Name ideas....

    All i can think of so far to call my servers (of which there will be 7) is after ships(Titanic, Olympic, Britannic etc..) Any other ideas?

    The servers are currently named very boring, Server1, Server2, Server3, Server4....

    LOL - personally I like legendary characters from history - cerberus the multi-headed dog of hades, castor and pollux (new twin servers) nice and cryptic things like that - cerberus because it was my first dual processor machine.

    One of my mates named their computer Keith.

    I go with Unts-##

    How about Pride of Hull and Pride of Rotterdam? (and no, just because a boat says so doesn't mean anybody actually is proud of Hull.)
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
