I hope she does like it somehow :) She is using that machine after all. @Karin Sounds great :D I've been hoping to encounter Linux in anime from time to time but so far, none yet. Lemme know in case you find any :D @Jeff Why Greek gods? :) @Jeroen ^^; Well, there’s that. I hope she does like it somehow :) She is using that machine after all.

@Karin Sounds great :D I’ve been hoping to encounter Linux in anime from time to time but so far, none yet. Lemme know in case you find any :D

I have one machine that is called ollivanders and another that is named diagonalley. In the past, I had (and still have) a list of all of the Greek gods and such.

Cute ^^ I would've named my laptop Hagu if I watched Honey and Clover earlier, I think. Or some other anime. osagnostic sounds fitting for your dual-boot machine. :) Hi, Karin! :) That’s cute, Kamineko :D You seem to have Japanese pop culture references.

My Win computer is names pufiamiyumi after the jpop group- again, just liked the name. I named one of my laptops osagnostic, since I have a dualboot on it, and the other is called Lorraine's laptop or something like that- it came from my mom, and I never changed the name. :) I named my linux machine kamineko, after a cat in Azumanga Daioh. http://azumangadaioh.tripod.com/kamineko.html No real reason, I just liked the name.

It's your machine so you have a say ;) @devnet I think that you're very practical in the way you named your machines and that is a good thing. It's easier that way :D @NTLE Hey hey. Eva, and the magi. Of course!;) Too bad your work laptop has been pre-assigned a name :( @Jeroen Naming your machines after animals sounds really cute. How does your sister find the name? Does she like it? :) My sister and I settled for Figaro simply because one partition was Edgar and the other Sabine. A compromise for our favorite male characters in a game who happened to be brothers. @timeladay You're so loyal to Hal!:D Sweet! And among the other machines you named, I think Alexandria is simply perfect :D :D :D @Ed Heh :P You’re so biased against the other OS. It’s your machine so you have a say ;)

He has always been Hal. I think since my first (very cheap, AU$25 make it go away) second hand mainframe which rapidly became windchimes, a chook run, and fascinating innards for kids, there has been a Hal. Probably the first usable Hal was Hal100, the Amstrad CPC6128. Each significant upgrade in hardware or software has meant a new number. He is about Hal4500 atm. A way to go to true Hal9000;) Others on the network currently include Tardis (the large capacity server & smaller kids Kubuntu box), Loofy (from One Piece, the traditional name for Ms nearly 14's boxen - currently Ubuntu Netbook Remix EEE), and Going Merry, (my old TC1100 tablet formerly known as HAL3800), that is the dual boot XP/Kubuntu home of Ms so close to 16. Friends computers I have named upon request (builder gets to name) include: Ada, Babbage, Alexandria (for the Library), Hypatia, Holly, Deep Thought, The Earth, and the much missed Sagan. A friend named his recent laptop aquisition Harold, as his music mixing box is Thomas, and his desktop is Richard. Its an obvious but still clever pun;) Hal. He has always been Hal.
