What's the name of your rig?

Postby C.Brutail » Fri Jun 15, 2007 7:20 pm

A fun topic again :)
My two pcss are named: "quadra" and "lair" .
Quadra is the powerfull pc at the uni, lair is the lil old machine. They all run debian sid only.

Their names originate from a book. Or better to say, from a never ended book. One of my best freinds once started a sci-fi book, for his own entertainment. He used his friends as actors in it :), the story was a weird mix of Tolkien's world and Star Wars. I featured a young knight in the book, and I was befriended by a dragon, named Quadra. The "Quadra" name itself comes from the allmighty "Quad Damage" :D . Lair comes from the book too, it was my sword's name, and it refers to one of my favorite weapons from Quake2 :D

And, what's YOUR story? :)

psych1 (AKA "crappy laptop", or craptop for short), psych2 (server AKA 'this lagging pile of crap'), psych3 (palm pilot), and psych4 (gaming rig AKA "holy fuck what's that")

I think you can figure out the story behind the names. :D

Aoi-kun is my named. "Aoi" is the actual name the -kun is a Japanese honorific. Aoi/Ao means blue, named it like that cause of the blue leds it has on the front and the blue fan in the back surrounding the whole chassi in blue. :)

It did give me problems before so I figured if I got a little more personal maybe I could be friends with it and it would be nice to me too :) And fortunately it did work a little. Nice Aoi-kun.

"mariusxp"

it's just named like the partitions. I don't see any sense in giving an OS a name...
